"I have pink hoop & a pink Bottle Baby" |
The weather helped us this week as it was dry and cold - my favourite type of weather, if I am being totally honest. I love it when the playground is dry and the children can sit about on the ground without getting dirty and wet and it so lovely to be able to enjoy all resources without them being covered in dirt - let's be honest in our damp Irish climate most of the time everything is coated in a layer of damp dirt!
It is always interesting to watch as the children become more confident in the outdoor space and begin to explore more of the resources - it can take weeks for each new class to begin to interact with some of the permanent fixtures and some years they can be ignored altogether unless an adult deliberately creates an invitation to play.
The box pallet is perfect for perfecting climbing before moving onto the pallet den. |
The feeling of satisfaction that each child felt upon their ascent to the top to sit with their friends looking over the playground was a sight to behold.
Our playground allows for all types of play, those who want to run about or climb and take part in more robust play can do so but equally there are quiet spaces of those who want to time to sit and read or just 'be'.
A reading area has been created under the slide with some crates and 'wrap arounds' from Mindstretchers. |
Just by moving the Lego & turning the crates over a whole new play scenario was created. |
How great is that photo of the reading child in the middle of all that action!
