Playground markings Saint Mary's Primary School in Stanley

first4playgrounds were very pleased for all of the positive feedback we received from Saint Marys primary school teacher Mrs Souter we have a full blog on our  playground installation on our website which can be found at www.first4playgrounds.co.uk .  The school was keen to have playground markings that encouraged physical activity at playtimes and we designed an exercise trail  to be used in their Physical Education lessons . We also installed markings that develop numeracy and literacy skills the markings included a Rocket Hopscotch, 0-20 colourful Dragon and a Sunflower Hopscotch and 1- 100 grid 
The children loved their new markings and the school was very pleased with the new markings, adding colour and excitement to their playground .

first4playgrounds new dance game

first4playgrounds is please to introduce a new dance class game for the school playground.

The game is made from the highest quality thermoplastics. The game has 5 white circles , all have colours inside which the child dances on.

The aim of the game is for the children to copy the teacher or leaders moves without making a mistake.

The game develops coordination , fine motor skills as well as encouraging exercise through play. This is ideal for key stage 1 and upwards and can be used by teachers in their physical exercise and movement programmes.
We recently installed a dance class game in a primary School in Durham.The children were very excited to play this new game and the teachers are looking forward to utilising it in the summer for PE lessons.

Thermoplastic playground markings on poor quality tarmac

Thermoplastic playground markings are usually placed on good quality  new tarmac but sometime we have to install on poor quality tarmac. This is  not a big problem for first4playgrounds and we can still have great results.The process involves more preparation of the surface . Below is pictures of the process involved

First we brush the loose tarmac away to create a smooth tarmac surface.We then dry it  using a gas burner to make sure there is no moisture left on the surface of the tarmac .

All moss and mud is removed from the tarmac with a wire brush, this process can sometimes produce more moisture which is then burnt away with the gas burner .

Finally we use a compound primer on the area where the markings will be placed.Once the primer is dry we lay the Thermoplastic markings onto the tarmac and heat the markings until they have firmly adhered to the tarmac.
