WOW… what an afternoon! 💚
Over 100 families joined us for our OPAL Play Parent Event and what an incredible celebration of play it was!
Together we dug, painted, crafted, built, imagined, explored, climbed, created and, most importantly, played. It was wonderful to see parents and carers experiencing the magic of OPAL alongside their children and seeing first-hand how play helps our children grow in confidence, creativity and independence.
A huge thank you to every parent and carer who came along and made the afternoon so special. Your support means so much to us!
We already can’t wait for the next one! @opal_east_midlands #OPALPlay #PlayMatters #LearningThroughPlay #HuntingdonAcademy #SchoolCommunity
