OPAL Play is Coming to Our School
Get ready for playtimes like never before! We're thrilled to introduce OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) an exciting new approach that will transform how our children play and learn outdoors.
What's OPAL All About?
Imagine playtimes where your child can:
- Build dens with fabric and crates
- Create their own games using natural materials
- Explore, imagine and adventure with friends
- Take on exciting challenges that build confidence
- Play in ways they choose – from quiet activities to active adventures
Why We're So Excited
OPAL play will help your child: ✨ Grow in confidence and resilience
✨ Develop problem-solving and teamwork skills
✨ Stay active and healthy
✨ Express their creativity and imagination
✨ Learn to take safe, managed risks
✨ Enjoy playtimes that boost their wellbeing
This builds on our fantastic forest and beach school experiences, giving children even more opportunities to thrive outdoors!
What You'll Notice
Over the coming months, you'll see:
- New play materials and zones appearing in our playground
- More varied and creative play opportunities
- Even happier, more engaged children at playtime!
We'll keep you updated every step of the way and invite you to information sessions to learn more!
UPDATE ON OPAL PLAY
🌿 Exciting New Addition to Our Outdoor Learning! 🌿
We're thrilled to share some wonderful news with our Palm Bay Primary School community!
A Brand New Mud Kitchen for Our Children
During the half-term break, we received an incredible gift that will enhance our children's outdoor play and learning experiences. Paul from Palms Landscaping has generously built us a fantastic new mud kitchen as part of our OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) provision!
What's Next?
Once complete, the mud kitchen will become a central part of our outdoor learning environment. We can't wait to see the children's faces light up as they explore, create, and play in this exciting new space!
A huge thank you once again to Paul from Palms Landscaping for your dedication to our school community. Your contribution will bring joy and learning opportunities to our children for years to come! 👏💚
