How it looks now!

Our deadline was January 15, 2015 to provide the children with a new school ground and also an outdoor classroom. We were pretty much on time and so far it has taken a good shape. The children have already started using the school ground. We will assess the risks and there will be some additions too later on based on how it is being used now. Here are some pictures of how it looks like now. Outdoor Classroom Growing Area Wet Learning Area Learning through Play Natural Learning Area Shelter Learning with Loose parts Pathway/ Stepping Stones Flat Area/Playground Marking We did not yet work on it.

We will observe a few days and then decide on the probable location for a finished playground marking. I am in a fix wheth
