Letter to BOT about wheelchair friendly playgrounds

DIsability Friendly Playgrounds

Last term Pod 4 studied 'Senses'. We researched and learnt that our senses are really important to us everyday.  WE also learnt about people without some of the senses and how they can still manage to do things.  We had a look at our playgrounds and even though we think they are great we noticed that there were no wheelchair friendly places or equipment. WE know that children with disabilities still like to play just like all kids. SO we researched  wheelchair friendly playground equipment and discovered that there is a lot of things we could add to ours (if ever there was enough money to do it). 

Take a look at our disability friendly playgrounds that all kids could play on - disabled or not.

We think they are really cool playgrounds. Don't you agree.
