The verdict is in! Our children have told us that their playground is more fun, there’s more to do, and play has got even better over the last school year. This term, they’ve been busy enjoying the new climbing frame and gazebo and becoming rather impressive swingball experts!
But autumn has arrived, and winter isn’t far behind… 🍂❄️
Rain, wind and colder temperatures don’t automatically mean indoor play. We want our children outside, enjoying fresh air, moving, exploring and having fun whenever it is safe to do so. After all, wet play indoors is nowhere near as exciting as OPAL play!
So please help us by making sure your child is OPAL-weather ready:
🥾 Wellies, boots or shoes to change into
🧥 Warm, waterproof coat
🧢 Named hat
🧣 Named scarf
🧤 Named gloves
Please label everything clearly.
With the right clothing, we can keep the adventures going whatever the British weather throws at us!
No such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing!
Coming Soon: Our New Scooter Zone!
We’re very excited to share that our next OPAL playground development will be a brand-new Scooter Zone! Plans are already underway, and we hope to unveil and open the new zone between Christmas and February. We know the children will be excited to have another new way to play, develop their skills and enjoy our playground. Keep an eye out for more updates as our plans develop!
🧸 OPAL Donation Day: Can You Help?
Are you planning a clear-out before Father Christmas fills the house with new presents? If so, we would love to give some of your children’s preloved toys a new life on our playground!
We are looking for;
scooters, as well as
Dolls,
Home-corner toys,
Blocks,
Cars,
Dinosaurs,
Superhero figures
And any other toys that children enjoy when they have the freedom to explore their own play and imagination!
Our OPAL team will be outside with donation tables on Monday 9th November, ready to collect and sort your kind donations. We are asking families to please bring donations on this one day only, rather than throughout the term. This allows our team to complete one big sort, check everything and organise the resources ready for the children to enjoy.
Please pop the date in your diary and save those clear-out treasures for us! 🌈
