Thanks to our wonderful Parent Council, Birkhill pupils were given a lovely surprise today when they returned from their Easter break.  Since the beginning of the year, our Health and Wellbeing Committee have been working on ideas to make our playground a happier place to be.  They asked their fellow pupils and worked together to come up with 5 playground markings they thought would encourage imaginative play, team work, social skills and fitness.

Thanks to money donated by the Parent Council we were able to get a company in during the holidays to make their ideas a reality! We now have a large Snakes and Ladders, a standing long jump, a target throw,  hopscotch and a large road/cycle track.

There were lots of smiling faces in the playground today!
