This week the Friends of KPNS were presented with this fantastic design for a new school playground. The School Council have led the discussions with pupils across the school about what they would really like their KS1 playground to look like and this is what they came up with. Isn't it FAB?! It includes: 

-A sensory trail through our existing woodland area (like the one in the music garden at Rushcliffe Country Park).

-A big interactive play castle for the children to climb, role-play in, slide down and enjoy. The children would like it to have a moat which runs around the perimeter and a bridge to cross over it. They also would like it to have the school logo on a shield on the front. 

-A scooter highway where children can scoot around, playing close attention to the pedestrian crossing and traffic lights. They also (very sensibly) suggested a scooter storage shed. 

-Lots of colourful playground markings like snakes and ladders, hopscotch, dance spots, etc. 

We are now going to talk to local businesses and playground specialists to see if this design could become reality if we were able to fund this incredible project. We will be sure to keep the School Council and the KPNS families up to date.
