A PLAY Day at Merriott First School, organised by Barnardos as part of the Healthy Schools Plus programme, has been hailed a big success by headteacher Zoe Coghlan.

“The whole school, including all the staff, were involved in an amazing play day,” she said.

“The day was undeniably a fantastic learning experience for all involved and something we will be putting into practice ourselves.”

During the day relationships between children developed and problem solving and teamwork shown in the challenges set was excellent.
