Wotton school has 'best outdoor play in UK' gazetteseries.co.uk/news/16885315.…

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

Looks like a wet one tomorrow. Don’t forget your coats! @BlueCoatPrimary 🌧 🌧 🌧

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

Big field, big skies for some Friday lunchtime football #playmatters #active #opal school @OPAL_CIC @BlueCoatPrimary #football

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

Children love collecting! A few trees on our school field are producing seasonal #looseparts for play! #playmatters #autumn #crabapples #opalschools @OPAL_CIC

Another beautiful build in the log store. William’s monster house #playmatters @OPAL_CIC #opalschools
