Our Environment

Project 2014

What we have been doing

In room 10 we have been doing some research to explore ideas for what a child

friendly exploration area looks like.

We have been working in think groups to brainstorm ideas for what could be in

ROPS Ville.

Room 10 working in think groups

ROPS Ville ?

A hut painted in blackboard paint to write on with chalk Tunnels

Musical materials that we can make sounds with

A tepee made from stakes and vines

A boat / car made from old chairs

A colourful hopscotch

A hut made of pallets

Chairs made of grass

Stairs

Blackboard to write on

These are some of the ideas we

found while researching and

really like.

What is your vision for the area

Behind the sandpit there is a big area which is usually out of bounds. It is such a shame

because it is lovely and sunny down there. It looks like it could be a nice place to play

I would really like some lovely things down there for you children to play in.

What would you like to see there?o Pretend houses to play in – long tall ones,

short flat ones.

o Funky seats to sit and stand on

o Archways to walk and crawl through

What would you like it to be called?

I haven’t got a name for it but I want it to be a an imaginary place where

people can go and play and they can just pretend to be whatever they

want to be.
