Exciting New Developments at Mount Stewart: A New Playground for Reception!

Exciting New Developments at Mount Stewart: A New Playground for Reception!

Mount Stewart is thrilled to announce an exciting new development that promises to bring smiles and joy to our youngest learners and the entire school community. In our continuous effort to enhance the educational experience for our children, we have partnered with Pentagon Play, leaders in creating dynamic and educational play spaces, to design and construct a brand-new playground specifically for our Reception class.

 

A Space Designed for Learning and Growth

Set to commence the week of March 25th, with completion aimed over the Easter holidays; this project is a testament to our commitment to providing a holistic and enriching learning environment for our students. The new playground area has been thoughtfully designed to challenge our children, offering them more space for child-led play and exploration. Carefully planned areas will link directly to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, supporting our children in achieving their developmental milestones.

 

The new playground will feature a range of equipment and zones tailored to nurture physical, intellectual, and social skills, ensuring that our children can learn and grow in a fun, safe, and stimulating environment. From climbing structures that encourage physical development to imaginative play areas that foster creativity and social skills, this playground will have something to engage every child.

 

A Unique Opportunity for Our Children

An exciting aspect of this project is the opportunity for our children to witness the transformation of their play area. This real-world observation will be a source of excitement and offer educational value, giving them insight into project development and the importance of safety and planning in construction.

 

Community Involvement and Updates

Recognising the importance of community involvement, we invite parents and the wider Mount Stewart community to engage with this project. While the outdoor area will be temporarily closed during the construction phase, we will ensure to keep you updated on progress and provide alternative arrangements for drop-off and collection as needed.

To give everyone a glimpse of what's to come, we have prepared a special presentation accessible through a QR code provided in our communications. We encourage parents to view this with their children, sparking conversations about the new play area and the adventures that await.

 

A Bright Future Ahead

This project marks a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to create an enriching, inclusive, and dynamic learning environment for all our students. We believe that the new Reception playground will enhance our children's daily experiences and serve as a symbol of our vibrant, forward-thinking community.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Mount Stewart community for your continued support and enthusiasm. Together, we are laying the groundwork for a future where our children can thrive, learn, and play in ways that will shape them into confident, curious, and compassionate individuals.

 

Stay tuned for more updates, and here's to a bright and joyful future at Mount Stewart!
