It is well documented that being outside in nature is beneficial for our mental wellbeing, and being active can help with concentration and improve mood.
Our playground is on a quiet village road, surrounded by trees and fields, but the site itself lacks inspiration. Our vision is to enhance our beautiful setting, allowing education to be brought out of the classroom and into the outside environment.
We have three aims:-
- to develop of a wildlife promoting area, including areas for the children to grow and tend plants, encouraging birds and insects into our space.
- to include areas for imaginative, creative and STEM activities, such as role play, engineering and construction.
- to increase opportunities for physical activities with more playground equipment and painting of the hard surface of the playground.
