Over the past few weeks and months, we have been developing our outdoor play and learning provision to enhance the quality and variety of our children's lunchtimes. From dressing up clothes to small-world play and adventurous equipment, OPAL is all about providing opportunities for the children to be creative, take managed risks and explore the world through play.

Children across the school have been enjoying the sunnier weather by shooting hoops on the basketball court, climbing our A-frame and playing with our small-world toys. And of course, they have been making use of our climbing equipment, including the trio of concrete tunnels and the three rings.
