To help facilitate our OPAL project we will need to buy some new resources, move some things around on the playground and we will also require some loose parts. Loose parts are any materials that can be easily moved, combined, and incorporated into children’s free play. The items we are looking for will enable us to enjoy a wider range of play experiences during playtime. Donations of any of the following would be greatly received:
- Suitcases of any size and type
- Anything on wheels/castors
- Plastic milk crates
- Briefcases, especially hard cased ones
- Road signs and cones
- kitchen pots, pans, baking trays, work tables, wooden spoons, chopping boards
- Tools like spades, trowels and brooms
- Tubes of various sizes and various materials
- Buckets
- Nets and ropes
- Keyboards
- Fabric (large sheets/brightly coloured fabric)
- Foam sheets / body boards
- Wooden pallets
- Metal frames
- Cable drums
- Guttering
- Noodles (the type you use in the swimming pool!)
- Pegs (to help to set up dens)
If you have any of these items, please bring them to school, or call and let us know where we can collect them from. Thank you in advance!
Many thanks
The staff and children of St Wilfrid’s
