The children have been enjoying a range of new wooden resources over the last few weeks for outdoor play, OPAL Outdoor Play and Learning CIC. This new equipment has been great for making dens, for climbing and jumping and for making obstacle courses! A huge thank you to Ryedale Lions as this equipment was funded by the money raised from the Easter egg raffle last term.
Pickering Town CIC would like your help with the information that they have shared with us below… A Vision for Pickering – Can you help Pickering Town CIC identify projects that could benefit the Community by responding to this survey? It should only take 5 minutes of your time but could have a profound effect on your children, family and peoples’ lives who visit, live and work in Pickering. We have had a good response to the survey so far but are missing views from ‘working age’ residents; it is important to us, that parents’ views are reflected when we consider future projects for the Town. Please contribute contribute your views in the below survey:
What an achievement! All of the amazing play opportunities provided for our children has been recognised again with our second PLATINUM AWARD covering 2026 to 2028! We are so proud of what we have achieved over the last five years working with OPAL Outdoor Play and Learning CIC. Play is such an essential part of childhood and we want to create unforgettable outdoor experiences that inspire adventure, curiosity and imagination so every child can make lasting memories through play and exploration. All of our play experiences are carefully planned from all sixteen types of play categories to support children’s wider physical, emotional, social, spiritual and intellectual development. They are introduced to the children through play assemblies where children lead discussions about how resources might be used and they work with our play team to create the risk assessments to go with these. So, as well as providing enjoyable, memorable experiences, play also gives children opportunities to learn important life skills.
Reading is often described as the key to knowledge, imagination, and success, unlocking doors to new worlds and opportunities! Our Reception children have shown their love of reading through exploring the world of 'Whatever Next!' this week. It has been a pleasure to see the enjoyment and learning that children have got from their storytelling.
What a delight it has been to see more sunshine this week! We have been discussing sun safety in assemblies, using the Cancer Council Song with Sid the Seagull! The children have loved their time outside even more this week in the sunshine and we've seen lots of different types of play from exploratory and creative to locomotor, physical play. For children to get the most out of their outside time, families please remember to send sun hats and sun cream!
