Caring for each other – Assembly this week

We used our assembly to talk to the children about OPAL again this week. We asked the children to think about what they feel is working well about OPAL and they shared what they have enjoyed so far. The children also shared what they haven’t enjoyed as much and what they feel could be improved further. We also introduced the new play equipment and types to the children. The children talked about pallets and planks. We discussed the potential be4nefits and how they could be used in play effectively. We also talked to the children about the potential risks and why they have to be careful and cautious when using them. They are all becoming more aware of the risks out side and discussing the benefits they feel they will have by playing with different items doing OPAL lunches. Thank you to Ellen (Jemima and Tamsin’s mum) who is doing a great job as a parent on the play team. Ellen arranged for some parents to come in to put up the music wall. It looks great and the children really enjoyed using it today. Just a quick note to say please could you try to avoid picking your child up for appointments etc… during lunchtime. The children have access to the whole site now at lunchtime which makes finding an individual quite challenging.
