“The new equipment will add to the nature playground which the school’s P&C have been developing in recent years,” he said.

“The music walls allow for open-ended, creative play using different surfaces,” he said.

“Our music teacher Jolanda Speelman has shown the students how to create music with the walls and the students have been very keen to use the walls to create their own sounds and joining up with their friends to make music together.

“They have been a big hit.”
