We would love to paint the tables and benches, maybe even buy some new ones? Make some stepping stones, create a chalk wall space and plant some new vegetables and flowers. Wind chimes and outside musical instruments could create soft sounds as well. \u00a0We are also looking into developing our main playground area.\u00a0The children will be researching into and discussing some ideas.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll keep you posted of any developments along the way. Any ideas or assistance would be very much appreciated by you all. So do get in touch with your child\u2019s teacher or the class School Councillor if any ideas fleet your way!
