OPAL Update
Dear Families,
After a wonderful summer term of fundraising, we have started our OPAL journey at Seaburn Dene. Together with the money raised by YOU, we have also secured a Community Chest grant of over £2,000 too.
We have installed vital storage for the equipment we will be collecting and organising for for our children on both yards to offer the highest quality play experiences possible. The next step is to follow up with a wellie storage area for our mud kitchen/sand pit areas.
Together with our play team, the main school yard will be divided into various zones, with each zone having a specific focus so children can have the freedom to explore and play in their own imaginative ways.
Phase one of our journey will see:
*A sand pit/digging zone.
*A den building zone.
*A loose part zone.
*A ball zone.
*A mud kitchen.
These zones will be introduced with assemblies, risk assessments and training over the course of the Autumn term. We aim to keep improving the zones and equipment as our OPAL journey continues.
