Dear Mrs Hagerty

It goes without saying that pupils outside in the playground are moaning about why there is no playground equipment.My personal opinion is the same because most of the boys are playing football and the other half are just standing around thinking what could they do to keep themselves occupied. But its not just the boys that are dissapointed about the lack of equipment.Some of the girls are moaning aswell.

I believe that some of the equipment we could have are some of the basics like , a beam, football goals,basketball hoops and basketballs.The equipment could also help our social skills and to keep healthy.

Please can you take my letter into contemplation. I hope you take this in urgently.

Yours sincerely Sean Allan.

Dear Mrs Hagerty i am writing to you about the playground equipment as i think we should certainly have more as there is not enough for every one to play and when people are bored fights start and arguments.

There are many good ideas that I have came up with so here are some of them monkey bars,climbing frame,basket ball hoops and basket balls and this is just some of the ideas that the children would welcome.This would be great entertainment for children of all ages.

A good reason for some of the equipment is that if they are set up and built right then they are safe to play on and wont snap,brake or hurt any one.I hope you have liked my ideas and consider using them in the near future

Yours sincerely

Dear Mrs Hagerty, HT ,

I am writing to ask you to take urgent action to install playground equipment in the senior yard and take it into serious consideration. I am aware and appreciate that you all ready have many great plans in place for our school, but I ask you to make this one of your top priorities.

I am conscious of the fact that children are suffering from boredom whilst out in the yard due to a lack of playground activities. As you have acknowledged in the past , this leads to pupils finding alternative games, one such ‘game’ as fighting.

I believe that you and our classroom assistants will have no doubt discussed the problem that football dominates the majority of the yard , often causing injuries, due to the lack of space where other pupils have to socialise. As well as injuries , arguments take place on the pitch that spill over onto valuable class time , as teachers spend lots of time getting to the bottom of the incident.

Furthermore, surely you will agree that we need to participate in outdoor activities that are fun , give us energy and encourage us to challenge ourselves? We spend many hours couped  up inside, therefore we should be encouraged to take advantage of the good, fresh , Scottish air and prepare us for the afternoon ahead .

Mrs Hagerty, I’m sure that you will agree that it’s now time for the senior pupils to benefit from some outdoor fun. It goes without saying that an adventure track would be suitable for both boys and girls to play in harmony.

Yours Sincerely, L.C
