Day 7

They now have lots to go across the bridge and they have made a start on the log walk. The workmen have made a start on all seven pieces of equipment and they are doing a very good job! They have got all of the pieces of bark ready for the ground covering.

They have completely finished 4 pieces of equipment and just need to finish the last three. Also, before they finish they need to remove the monkey bars and spread the bark.

Day 5

The workmen have started screwing together a balance weave but still haven’t finished the other two pieces of equipment. They have also started the stepping logs and all they need to do to finish them is put them further into the ground. They have also made 2 sloping balance beams. There is supposed to be 7 pieces of equipment and so far they have made 5. The two that they haven’t started yet are th Varuna bridge and the log rope. The only piece of equipment left from the old adventure playground is the monkey bars and some old wood that is rotten.

Day 6

Today the adventure playground is coming into shape. They have left the monkey bars in there for now but there will not be monkey bars in the new one. They are gathering new planks of wood and they have dug holes for the posts so that they are stable and do not fall over. They still need to do a few things like putting the the rope in for the rope walk and finishing the wobbly bridge. They have measured everything and are nearly done.

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.
