Outside the classrooms we have one main, large play area and two, slightly smaller play areas specifically designed for the younger children. All three are completely shaded and have green astro-turf flooring. 

All the playgrounds are well equipped with playhouses, climbing equipment, slides, cars and trikes as well as a large sandbox. There is plenty of room for the children to run around and playtime is always a good opportunity for learning to share and making new friends.

In addition to the playgrounds there are several paved areas around the school which we use for sand and water play and riding on the cars and trikes.  The children also enjoy various art and craft activities in these areas, such as drawing with chubby chalks and painting with water.

Our real pride and joy is the large, grassed play area at the front of the school which is enjoyed by all of the classes during nice weather.  At the end of the garden is a large, roofed gazebo with seating, big enough to hold an entire class and there are several tables for the children to enjoy a variety of activities.

The garden also has a decked track, planting beds for the children to learn about growing plants and flowers, and seating areas for a story or to have a rest!  Our favourite feature is the large area of lush, green grass which is used for games, flying kites, hunting for bugs, picnics and free play. We aim to get the children outside several times a week, whenever the weather is suitable, for some all-important exercise and fresh air.
