This week KS2 children were given the opportunity to try out the equipment, working in teams to try and build a standing den in just 10 mins! Despite the challenge, children worked really well in teams, communicating and showing school values or respect and kindness to build amazing structures. Den building and loose part play will now become a key focus of our OPAL lunch times. ### OPAL Den Building
