Just 4 Schools
Creative Cascade
I have recently designed a resource specifically for the outdoor curriculum and wondered if you would be interested in the product for your school. The product consists of stands with openings at 6 different heights to support guttering. Details can be seen on our website: www.creativecascade.co.uk . The product was in fact featured in last week's Nursery World Magazine.
I now use this product almost daily with various groups in my school. It is robust and weatherproof so that it can be stored outside and is virtually indestructable. The children can move and set up the equipment themselves and it is at this stage of the activity that the most dramatic learning takes place. The children negotiate the formation they want and then work together to overcome problems. The equipment is large and exciting and once a run has been buillt the children squeal with delight as they watch cars, balls or water run down the pipes. Before designing theses stands I spent many frustrating hours with children as they tried to support pipes on crates or tie them to fences. This equipment keeps the creativity and challenge (that is lost when pipes are fixed to a wall) but avoids the frustration that can result from other options.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks.
