Our #P2N2 group enjoyed the shade of the #PlaySanctuary on Wednesday, keeping cool with foot baths in the sandpit and games of drip drip dunk at the park 🏖️💦

One player told us ‘this is the best day of my life, and the afterlife’ 🥹

A windy day at the #PlaySanctuary on Thursday inspired some high octane play.

Watching play foam swirl around in the gusts provided much entertainment - as did decorating #PlayRanger Beccy 💨 🧼

It’s often the simplest play materials that bring the most joy

Our #P2N2 group used sellotape to create a spider’s web at the park, experimenting to see how many children could use it as a seat before it broke 🕸️

Then it was back to the #PlaySanctuary for food and Uno 🥯

Thanks to a kind donation from Play Ranger Mel T we had lots of musical instruments in the #PlaySanctuary which were used by our #P2N2 group - who even took them to the park 🎶 🥁 🎷

Our Wednesday #P2N2 group chose to play in the park then head to the #PlaySanctuary for Lego building, cricket and fireside snacks

Two players asked Ranger Joe if he could bury them in the sandpit - resulting in lots of laughter 🏖️

Our school nurture group asked for water balloons - a right of passage at the #PlaySanctuary 🎈luckily Ranger Holly brought her waterproofs 💦

They also enjoyed making potions and an obstacle course to avoid the lava covered floor 🌋

A rare glimpse of sunshine for our Wednesday #P2N2 crew ☀️

We headed to the park to burn off some post-school fizziness, then it was back to the #PlaySanctuary for music, sword fights and warming up by the fire 🔥

The afternoon got messy with foam ice creams, slime and painting.

One child decided to experiment with a roll of masking tape to see how far it would stretch until it ran out, starting inside the #PlaySanctuary 🧶

Our new #P2N2 group enjoyed exploring the newly decorated #PlaySanctuary on Wednesday.

Plenty of #active fun followed by marshmallows on the fire 🔥

The #PlaySanctuary was rather quiet during the first two weeks of January as it underwent a revamp and much needed lick of paint! 🎨

Thanks to the creative talents of Play Rangers Jasmin, Ellie and the rest of the team it is refreshed ready for play…
