Dear Parent/Carer,
Exciting News!! Playground
refurbishment
We have secured some funding for some
much needed playground improvements. The planned improvements include:
- more creative play equipment,
including den building, sand and water play and a mud
kitchen
- more physical challenges,
including climbing, hangout nets, balances and ropes
- a 'Playpod',
- resurfacing of the whole
playground
- sports markings to enable our
pupils to use pitches more often at playtime but also for use in PE and
inter-school competitions
- Planting to add some
nature and soften the look of the playground
- a stage area
- quiet areas
with seating and shade
- painting of buildings and gates
to improve the look of the playground
The works will take place over the
next few months and should be completed by the end of April.
If you would like to have a look at
the plans they will be on show in the school hall from 8.30-9.00 on Tuesday
26th and 3.30-4.00pm on Wednesday 27th January, and I will be available to discuss
plans with parents.
I would like to establish a small
steering group, including parents, pupils, governors and staff to work
with me on the project. It would need 3 parent representatives to meet 3 or 4
times over the next few months to discuss the plans etc.
If you are interested in being on the
steering group please let Mrs Lee know in the School Office by Friday 29th
January. In the event we have more volunteers than needed we will draw names
out of a hat to pick the 3 representatives.
We are all looking forward to
this exciting development....
