Over half term the refurbishment of the ‘quiet area’ between Class 2, Class 1 and the playground into the new ‘Coronation Corner’ was completed. This involved removing the slabs and sleepers which the tree roots had disturbed and installing better drainage, a new fence and soft surfacing. This has opened up the area and has already allowed more play this week. I’ve noticed Class 3 dancing and jumping on the slightly springy surface, running and chase games as well as comfortable places to sit and chat under the tree. The space will really come into its own when it’s really wet and the field can’t be used. Thanks to FUS for funding and also to the fundraising from a group of parents who completed a sponsored walk a while ago which also contributed.
