The playground is, naturally, quite icy at the moment. The pupils are loving it and we are enjoying seeing them have so much fun in the outdoors.
Walking, sliding and playing on icy pavements is a part of life, and there is a great deal of learning, fun and personal development that can come from pupils exploring the world in this way.
However, icy ground is obviously a greater fall hazard than normal. We have spoken to all the children about “planning their own safety” and we would encourage you to do the same at home. Ice can be great fun if we are sensible and careful when we use it.
Please speak to your children about how to stay safe on the ice. Stopping children from playing on it isn’t the answer, they need to learn to manage this risk responsibly.
