Playground Fun !
We have been working together to make our playground a more interesting, fun place to play. Here are a few quotes from the children.
I wasn’t sure about playing in the ‘Houses’ but it’s really good now because we’re getting the chance to play with other people. – Chloe P7
I ‘m happy that we get a chance to play with different people in different areas. I like to help the younger ones or choose to play with my own friends. – Megan P7
I like playing with the big ball – T’Jay P2
I think it’s better that we play in our House groups so it’s not all the little ones versus the big ones. – Cameron R P7
I didn’t really like playing football in the Houses with the little ones because we have a harder shot and we could hurt them.’ Ellis P7
I like to get the chance to play in the nursery garden. I like to sit in the shed in the peace and quiet. – Kelsey P5
I would like to do tennis and badminton in the sport’s area. Now that we know how to play badminton, we can teach the younger ones. – Ailidh P3
It’s good that everyone gets the chance to play with different toys. I like to sit in the shed on the benches and the big blow up ball is fun too. – Kirsty P7
Here is a plan of the playground zone areas.
This is the current rota for the zoned areas. We are keen to ask the playground supervisors and the children’s opinions to make sure we are keeping everyone safe and happy.
