To celebrate our OPAL Platinum re-accreditation and Honours Award, Mr. Rodeck, Mrs. Bailey, Ms. Stockham, and Miss Amps had an OPAL party with the O-Pals. Tasty treats and drinks were enjoyed and everyone had a lovely time celebrating! #Opal @OPALOutdoorplay
Opal is so proud to be supporting the wonderful project-play.org Bring play and joy to the lives of children to children who have neither. Please support too if you can
Thanks to Katie and Rachel from @ProjectPlay7 for your presentation on play for children on the move in northern France. Making the right to play real.
We are delighted to have won The Play Award at The Children and Young People Now Award 2023. We won for our significant contribution to children's play nationally.
#Glastonbury Glastonbury continues at St Julians Wellow
Read the UN's response to the UKs implementation of Children's Rights UNCRC. Note play should be part of school's curriculum tbinternet.ohchr.org/_layouts/15/tr…
The UK receives a poor report card on children's human rights from the UN. Again! equalityhumanrights.com/en/publication…

I will be presenting at @IPAGlasgow2023 on lessons from transforming playtimes in 1000 primary schools in the UK, France, Spain, Poland, Canada, Malaysia, New Zealand and Australia.
@KeepEYsUnique @OPALOutdoorplay We have introduced it in our school this year and it’s ace! The behaviour at playtimes and lunchtimes are so much better because children of every age are engaged! We have tyres, rope swings, crates, barrels, mud kitchen and even skateboards!
If you are looking at play (if not, you soon will!) and want to transform your playtimes and lunch times, come along to see our lunch time. You will have the opportunity to hear about our journey to Platinum award with @OPAL_CIC and amazing mentor @IngridW62548287 #playistheway

Please can people not come to school now in the morning. I have to protect our children, our staff and our community. Please for the protection of our children and staff.
I see the pressure heads are under every day in my work and the damage a callous inspector can wreak. Grant an inquiry of the Ofsted inspection at Caversham Primary School - Sign the Petition! chng.it/XC2NcDjk via @UKChange
Week 2 of our OPAL playground project at Windrush Charlton and what a week it’s been- elastics, space hoppers, chalks and learning to clean up after ourselves. The pupils are absolutely loving it, building resilience, skills and sharing the laughter @OPALOutdoorplay
This poll is for primary parents. What kind of school uniform would you prefer your child's school to base their uniform on?
Our children have a large range of resources to encourage play & exploration. Pupils build dens, role-play, search for bugs, create vehicles. They assess risk & know how to keep each other safe. We have seen this develop confidence, team work & imaginations! @OPALOutdoorplay
Staging and mud-kitchen have been organised onto the field - spring has sprung - looking forward to the children seeing this tomorrow! @OPAL_CIC @OPALOutdoorplay #BelieveAchieve #Play
This week the ‘Golden Welly’ award will go to children who use sticks in an imaginative way. It looks like we have some worthy contenders! @OPAL_CIC @OPALOutdoorplay @AnaArdelean13 @neil_play

@KeepEYsUnique @OPALOutdoorplay Sounds like you are off to a flying start! Enjoy the OPAL programme. I loved my role on the opal working party and seeing play totally transform at my school….. so much so that I went on and trained to be an opal mentor! All the best - play every day! @OPAL_CIC #opalschools
@KeepEYsUnique @OPALOutdoorplay They definitely are!
@KeepEYsUnique @OPALOutdoorplay We have introduced it in our school this year and it’s ace! The behaviour at playtimes and lunchtimes are so much better because children of every age are engaged! We have tyres, rope swings, crates, barrels, mud kitchen and even skateboards!
If you are looking at play (if not, you soon will!) and want to transform your playtimes and lunch times, come along to see our lunch time. You will have the opportunity to hear about our journey to Platinum award with @OPAL_CIC and amazing mentor @IngridW62548287 #playistheway
