OPAL Updates
Our playground project is moving forward wonderfully, especially now we can enjoy some beautiful weather at playtimes. Recently, children have been painting, building car ramps, creating flower “soups” and grass “potions”, as well as enjoying tyre obstacles and field sports.
As the project continues, we will be adding dressing‑up clothes, more creative activities and further developing our quiet spaces. We also have plans for a sandpit, a digging zone and an exciting PTA donation — more news on that soon!
With sunnier weather comes a few uniform reminders. Please ensure your child brings a sunhat and has sun cream applied before school on warm days. Children may bring their own sun cream to reapply at lunchtime if they can do so independently. On particularly warm days, we will encourage shade, rest and regular water breaks. Thank you for supporting us in keeping children safe and comfortable outdoors.
We are hugely grateful for donations to support our OPAL project. On donation days, we welcome second‑hand items from home, garden or shed that children could use in their play, such as:
- Lego, Duplo or building blocks
- Dressing‑up clothes
- Fabrics for den building (duvet covers, sheets, blankets, rugs)
- Craft materials and paintbrushes
- Gardening tools, watering cans or pool noodles
If you would prefer to donate online, our OPAL Amazon Wishlist remains open, with many items under £5.
