New Playground Report - look at the photos further down our blog

At St Clair school we have a new Junior Playground.
It is made from natural products, such as wood, sand and dirt.


The builders used many, of materials and tools. They are,
logs, wood, sand, nails and bolts and the tools are a hammer, chain saw,
digger and to name some of them.


They used the wood for the edges of the sand pit and for the huts, walking
plank and stepping stones.


They used the chain saw for cutting the wood to the right length. They
had saw from each side to cut through the stepping poles. Also the builders cut some of the wood lengths with it.


They used the hammer for hammering in the nail’s and
bolt’s into the wood. They used the bolts to hold everything together very securely.

The builders used the digger to make some room for the
sandpit and the garden beside the sand pit. A large truck arrived with sand and the digger unloaded it into the sand pit area.

The playground is enjoyed by many children and looks great and fun to play in. Anika age 7

A small piglet was born on a farm and Fern the farmers daughter wanted it for a pet. Eventually Wilbur the pig left their farm and this is when he meets Charlotte. She is very clever and ends up saving his life. She does a trick on her web that has everyone talking. I enjoyed the book and think other people my age would too. Jemma - 7
