OPAL Adventures at Mayflower: Come Rain, Shine... or Mud!
At Mayflower, we're proud to be an OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) school and that means embracing all weather with open arms and muddy boots! Our children never miss a chance to turn a rainy day into a world of imagination, teamwork, and joy.
Last week's downpours brought out some of the most inventive play yet. A donated stretcher was magically transformed into a sturdy "boat," helping adventurous crews sail across the great Mayflower Lake (otherwise known as a very impressive puddle! ). Meanwhile, our earthy mound became the perfect mud slide, proving once again that a little rain can spark a LOT of fun.
Being outdoors isn't just enjoyable it's essential. It builds resilience, creativity, social skills, and a lifelong love for nature. That's why our uniform policy proudly includes wet weather gear, ensuring every child can jump, splash, slide, and explore, whatever the forecast brings.
We love seeing our children use their imaginations, challenge themselves, and embrace the elements with such enthusiasm. OPAL continues to show us that the best adventures often begin where the pavement ends.
Here's to muddy hands, bright smiles, and endless outdoor play!
