Our School Playground
Throughout the school, news has been spreading vigorously and we are excited to announce that Kirkcolm School is getting…
A fabulous new playground!!
As you should all know by now, we took part in a Tesco’s competition called ‘Bags for Life.’ People would vote for either us (Kirkcolm School) or, the two other participants. By using blue counters. To our surprise we came first and won £10,000, so, we used the money to buy a brand new playground, which began instillation on Monday the 26th of February 2018.
We have been so excited about the new playground that we have asked fellow pupils what they hope and expect of what it will look like. “I really, really want a slide and roundabout!” No! I want a sandpit, racing track and monkey bars!” from p.1/2 pupils.
We have been waiting for this playground for over 2 years now. So we are over the moon about it. So are other pupils this is what they said. “I would like an obstacle course and a giant spider web!”
“So would I, but I would also like an underground maze that attaches to a slide” says P.5 pupils.
We are so looking forward to playing on our playground so we sent Robin McAuley, Finlay Nelson, Sophie Wilson and Katie Butler to take photos of the equipment. Thank you to Tesco’s and everyone who voted for us during the Bags for Life competition. Thank you to Mrs D who entered us into the competition, thank you to our competitors. Thank you to the council, who are helping to install our playground and lastly thank you to the builders, Sovereign Play for building our playground for us which we can’t wait to play on!
Work in progress!
