Year 5 Excursion to the Ultimate Playground

What makes a playground 'good'? Why do councils invest time and money in these spaces? What can we learn from the playgrounds in our local area?

These are just some of the questions Year 5 students asked and answered last Friday. As part of their Ultimate Playground task, students visited Cobbler's Creek and Golden Fields playgrounds, both great spaces just a few minutes from the school. While there was time to play, students spent their time assessing each space and how it met the needs of the community.

Their next challenge? Taking what they have learned to design their own playground. We can't wait to see what they come up with!
