AFTER <strong>SCHOOL</strong> CARE – OUTDOOR PLANNING<br />
We have been reflecting on our outdoor<br />
planning. We have asked parents for<br />
donations such as metal cooking equipment,<br />
picnic basket items, dress ups ,Tule skirts and fairy<br />
wands. Our plan is to extend the learning and<br />
socialising that the outdoor environment can give<br />
to our students.<br />
Our first step was to take the cubby house sheets,<br />
which have always been used inside, and now use<br />
them outside. This opened up a huge new range<br />
of play and social opportunities.<br />

TASHA AND JAI ENJOYING<br />
RELAXING IN THE BEDROOM<br />
OF THEIR CUBBY HOUSE.<br />
The students first enjoyed making outdoor<br />
cubby houses. Georgia and Charli even<br />
extended their cubby house to include<br />
a shower!<br />
Over the next few days, the students<br />
experimented with their use of the sheets.<br />
Eliza worked out a system of tying the sheet<br />
securely. She reasoned that looping the sheet<br />
around the monkey bars and then using the<br />
weight of the person sitting on the swing<br />
would ensure that the knot she tied would<br />
remain secure.<br />

<strong>Tintern</strong> <strong>Schools</strong> is always<br />
looking at ways to improve<br />
the experiences of its students.<br />
Towards this end, we would<br />
appreciate you giving us<br />
important feedback on various<br />
aspects of the <strong>Tintern</strong> Junior<br />
School at <strong>Tintern</strong> <strong>Schools</strong>.<br />
Your opinion is valuable to us<br />
and we would therefore like to<br />
invite you to participate in this<br />
survey. The aim of the survey<br />
is to gain general feedback and<br />
understand your perceptions<br />
regarding the quality of your<br />
child’s education experience<br />
with the school.<br />
The information obtained will<br />
be used by us to evaluate parent<br />
opinion, in order to improve the<br />
quality of education at the school<br />
for students. All responses will<br />
remain anonymous and <strong>Tintern</strong><br />
<strong>Schools</strong> Senior Executive will rely<br />
only on the numerical results in<br />
their future decision-making.<br />
However, decisions made by<br />
the school do not rely solely<br />
on the opinions expressed in<br />
this survey. As always, staff and<br />
management are interested to<br />
hear feedback from parents via<br />
all other avenues - comments<br />
you may make to your<br />
child’s class teacher or other<br />
communication you may make<br />
directly with the school.<br />
