The registers officially close at 9.05am. However, teachers are closing their doors at 9.00am as they need to make a start with the morning routine of registers, dinner registers, assemblies etc and they were finding this a struggle. If a child signs in at the office between 9.00 and 9.05am they won’t be marked late. Classroom doors open from 8.50am and we recommend children arrive as close to this time as possible.

OPAL School - (Outdoor Play And Learning)

Lets Play BINGO! October 2024

Above is the BINGO sheet with the items listed that we are collecting now. We are still happy to take in donations of other items but if, as a class, the children tick off at least one of every item on the sheet they will 'win some extra playtime!'

Please help us and your children, by having a search at home, to see whether you have any of the items listed.

OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) will successfully embed play into our school policies, which will enable a committed change for our playtimes.

 

This will provide our children with an improved quality of play provision to empower them to initiate positive play and socialisation.

 

Through support of our local community, businesses, staff and you (our children's families), we can ensure Arnold Mill is a thriving school where children can experience a wide range of fun games and activities to improve their overall well being.

How we want to use our School Grounds - Part 1.

This is how we initially, envision the school grounds being used for our OPAL schools. We are sure that this will change multiple times as we expand and increase the equipment that we have, as well as move the locations of the 'small parts' to maximise the benefit for the children's play.

We aim in the long term, along with creating the digging area, that we will also create a large sand pit, location still to be decided.
