Oaks Primary School celebrate new play area
New exciting additions to schools playground for nursery and reception children.
Oaks Primary School in Tilgate had an extra special reason to celebrate yesterday (26th Feb) as their head teacher Mr Alan Gunn opened the new special additions to their playground.
Named the Acorn Gardens, the area has had a dramatic change with a water feature, new climbing wall, mud pit and many other attractions.
Built over the past few weeks, the school has invested a lot of money to provide something very unique for their nursery and reception students.
With plants donated by Tilgate Park, students are able to explore their green fingers with real plants.
With many excited children along with their parents all waiting anxiously in the bitter cold, Mr Gunn cut the ribbon and officially announced the playground open.

The only question we had when we visited was, why didn’t we have something like this when we were children?
