The new bridge over our
pond. |
|
Before they put the bridge over the pond there was an overgrowth
of grass and it was all green and grotty. When they made it
better the new plants attracted frogs and insects.
They use this bridge to walk over the water so there are no
incidents.

They enter this nature area to get to the pond.
The nature area used to be full of weeds and stinging nettles
and then they put in new plants.

In the picture above you can see a compass. On the right hand
side you can see the flower-board game.
One person gets the ball, and they have to try and throw it
at one of the flowers. Other people have to stand on the flowers
which are painted on the floor .If they hit the flower they
get the amount of points it says. |

Playground Buddies demonstrating
" Ollie, Ollie" the game. |
|
To make playtime better for children they have Playground Buddies.
The Playground Buddies had five days of training to lean how
to play safely. The teachers taught the Playground Buddies at
least twenty five games. Then the Playground Buddies tested how
good they were with two classes. They split the two classes into
5 groups to play the games.
The Playground Buddies in our class are;
Brogan, Georgia, Tomas, Thomas, and Kieran.
One of the games is called "Ollie, Ollie, who's got the
ball."

They used to have two computers in their classroom. They had
to wait a very long time to go on them. Now they can go to the
ICT room, which has 16 computers.
