Nature Club Letter

We discussed Road Safety in assembly this morning.  We focused on how to keep safe when walking to school and the value of travelling to school on foot, bicycle or scooter!

Two small clips we watched this morning may support you as parents to have conversations at home:

Dear Parents and Carers,

Finally we have had some bright weather! Please can we use this as an opportunity to remind you that we would appreciate you sending necessary sun protection to school with your child. We would recommend sun hats and sun cream. Please remember staff cannot apply sun cream and we would advise you apply it to your child before they come to school or that you talk to your child about appropriate application during the school day it you are happy for them to do it themselves. If you send sun cream to school with your child we will assume you are happy for them to apply it themselves.

Please can we also remind you that children should have their own water bottle so that they can refill this during the school day.

Please make sure that sun hats, sun cream and water bottles are labelled with your child’s name to avoid confusion.

Best wishes

The workmen have made a lot of progress! They have started two new pieces of equipment: the rope walk and a bridge. They have cleared most of the old rotten equipment from the area now so it looks much better. They have even started to bring poles round and have placed them at the edge of the playground ready. They are on track to finish by the middle of next week so fingers crossed.

The workmen have nearly cleared the whole area. Today they started to build a rope walk. A rope walk is two pieces of rope attached to 2 poles about 2metres apart. You have to walk along the bottom rope, holding onto the top rope as you go. They have also started digging the ground so maybe they are preparing it for the next piece of equipment. We are wondering what it will be. Have a look at the plan.

Our new activity area construction is underway! School Council are keeping track of progress and are writing a diary to keep everyone up to date.

Day 1

The workmen are taking down the old adventure playground to build the new one. First of all, they sawed off the metal with a chainsaw and then started to saw down the wood. The wood has rotted under the ground and that is why it has to be replaced. It is not safe. They are cutting the wood into chunks to make it easier to carry.

Day 2

Today they have started to dig up the ground to remove the rotten pieces of wood. They have left a few poles in the ground. To dig up the ground, they have used a mini digger to make it quicker (instead of using a shovel). They as also brought a small vehicle to carry the wood for them so that they don’t have to carry it themselves. It also makes the process a whole lot quicker.
