What a fab day! Bubble machine and sword fights in the wind and rain! Thanks to @BlueCoatSchPTA, parents, pupils, @BlueCoatPrimary PlayTeam, staff and Govs for your kind words and generous gifts. I’m handing the baton on to the capable hands of Mrs Wharin. 😊👍 from Mrs Murray

Wet leaves incorporated into playground art. We also used them to make an ‘electric force field’ but it couldn’t contain the year 2s! #playmatters #naturalmaterials #opalschools @OPAL_CIC

Look at this! What a beauty! Lots of surprise and admiration as we discovered this funky caterpillar at lunch today. Developing our site for play has also improved it for our wildlife #nature #playmatters #opalschools @OPAL_CIC #caterpillar #insects

The children were really proud of this birds nest that they made from grass, complete with conker case ‘egg shell’ #creative #playmatters @OPAL_CIC #opalschools @BlueCoatPrimary

"The drive to play freely is a basic, biological drive. Lack of free play may not kill the physical body, as would lack of air, food, or water, but it kills the spirit and stunts mental growth." ~ Peter Gray #opalschools #playmatters #mondaymotivation

Inset day for @BlueCoatPrimary today so a great opportunity for a Scrapshed overhaul. Scrap divided into some big sets we can use in our current bubbles system, plus extra #MudKitchen, PlayBeach, Sporty and dressing up sets #playmatters #opalschools @OPAL_CIC #active
