The children got very excited on Monday when the new playground equipment arrived on site for installation. A grant of £10,000 from Tesco “Bags for life” and some money from other sources, has been used to liven up our playground into a wonderful place to play. Kirkcolm school would like to thank all of the work for many years in the planning and application stages of this project, to where we are at now. Many thanks to the previous and current Chair of the Parent Council, Mrs J Stanistreet and Mrs J Drummond for leading the project for us.
We just need to be patient and wait until next week until all the foundations have set and the equipment is set before all the fun can begin! Hopefully next week we will get the green light and have an opening ceremony to celebrate phase one of the playground development. A four way ball shooter and space play net tower is still to be installed. And, we will also have further grounds development from the council in the area surrounding the new equipment. We hope this work will be complete in the Summer. Watch this space!
