Thanks to our wonderful Parent Council, Birkhill pupils were given a lovely surprise today when they returned from their Easter break.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

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,\u00a0 hopscotch and a large road\/cycle track.<\/p>\n

There were lots of smiling faces in the playground today!<\/p>\n
