We’re starting our OPAL journey at Ernesettle! 💛
We’re excited to begin developing OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) at Ernesettle. Over time, we hope to make playtimes and lunchtimes even more creative, engaging and enjoyable for our children, with more opportunities to explore, imagine, build, move and play together.
To help us get started, we’re collecting items that can be given a new lease of life in our outdoor play spaces. Please take a look at our Donations Needed poster to see what we’re looking for.
Donations can be dropped off at the school office. If you have a larger item, such as a buggy, pram, scooter, balance bike or ride-on, please feel free to call the School Office before bringing it in so we can check that it’s suitable.
We’d also love to hear from local businesses who may be able to donate safe, interesting materials for children’s play.
♻️ Before you throw it away, think OPAL! Something you no longer need could spark a brilliant new play experience.
Thank you for helping us take the first steps on our OPAL journey! 💛💙
