It’s playtime at Eastfield Primary

Reception children at Eastfield Primary School have been enjoying the great outdoors after their old play area was given a makeover.

The Early Years playground has been transformed into an inspirational play space, with a new sandpit, tepee, reading zone, mud kitchen, grass area and play equipment.

Eastfield Reception teacher Natalie Michael explains, “The outdoor area was very old and dated but over the summer it’s been given a brand-new look. There are some beautiful spaces for the children to explore, equipment to encourage play-based learning and a reading area to chill out with a book.

“The children absolutely love their new outdoor play area and can’t wait to get outside every day. The greenery provides an oasis of calm in an urban area. We’re thrilled with it.”
