Project:Playground

Education isn't just about sitting behind a desk, it's about learning to play with your friends. Our wooden playground equipment is aged and in desperate need of replacement.

Sorry this project was unsuccessful, we did not reach our fundraising goal.

Our dream playground - we need your help7 years ago
img-0898.jpg

This is the playground we're aiming for... It is designed to help children with their coordination and balance - better coordination and balance means that children can jump, climb and play sports without falling over. In the classroom, this means children have better pencil control. Physical exercise is important for young children to strengthen their developing muscles. Better muscle structure means healthier children. Healthier children means happier children. Happier children means brighter pupils. With so much more to be done to combat childhood obesity, we are trying to keep our children healthy and active by giving them a playground which challenges them physically as well as mentally.
