This Thursday (18th) is Empty Classroom Day. We are joining in with schools all around the world by celebrating the power of play and the important role it plays in learning.
There are really no rules to this day, other than that it is child directed. Adults will join in and play with, but they will not be directing the play.
We are looking for children to work together, imagine, create and ultimately just have a whole lot of fun!
If you are able to come along on this day (even if it is just for a short time) we know the children would appreciate adults joining in on their play. We will be starting at 9am and going through to about 2.30pm.
Any loose parts (boxes, wood, tyres, pipes etc etc) can be brought along on the day, but don't expect to get it back.
As it is Nerf Day Thursday, we are also happy for children to bring these along, but do not want any other toys.
Lastly, but definitely not least, children are likely to get dirty, and in some instances...very dirty! Please ensure they bring a change of clothes along with them on the day.
If the weather really does not work with us we will find another date. However we will go ahead if it is just drizzle or light rain, so ensure children bring jackets and gumboots if this weather looks likely.
