  • WOW August 2018
    ISSUE 70 August 2018 Wakefield School’s New Obstacle Course Clears the Final Hurdle by Peter Verstappen In recent years Wakefield School has completed several major improvements to its grounds and play areas, inspired by a 2015 project called The Great Outdoors Review. The review took a long, hard look at how our outdoor spaces support learning. We worked from the idea that children learn everywhere and at all times, so how could we make our environment a place that supports learning in many ways? The Great Outdoors Review inspired Loose Ends (a shipping container full of creative junk), an artificial turf games zone with shade sails, winding pathways and bark play areas, tyre swings, a willow tunnel, bicycle pump track and log circle. We sprayed green lines around trees we encourage children to climb (‘green line climb, orange line stop’ is one of our mantras). An orchard and vege gardens emerged from our new mindset. And… children began pestering us to create an obstacle course. Feeling a bit overwhelmed at the idea we batted it back to the kids: ‘you design it’, we said. And they did, bombarding us with Grand Designs to rival a Gold Coast theme park. Patiently they wore down our reluctance, reminding us of our commitment to child-led learning and a well-balanced curriculum. After many designs and re-designs, many conversations with parents, sponsors and supporters, many meetings with professional designers and engineers, and a big helping of community spirit, our obstacle course is finally complete and fully operational. At 80m in length the course is designed as a strength and fitness trail, featuring eight obstacles that together offer a complete workout.
