Back in February 2023, Fun & Active Playgrounds visited Ysgol Llanllyfni School in Caernarfon, North Wales, to undertake an exciting playground markings project.
Fun & Active Playgrounds were tasked at transforming the school’s tired and uninspiring outdoor space into an exciting and engaging play area. The team travelled from Hampshire to North Wales and spent two and a half days transforming the school’s playground with a multitude of fun and vibrant markings. These included items such as a Welsh 0-20 Number Dragon, a Map of Wales, a 3-way Hopscotch, an Active Spot Circuit and a bespoke school logo marking. All of the wording used in the designs were translated from English into Welsh – all with the help of the school’s teaching staff! These markings are an excellent way to encourage the children of Ysgol Llanllyfni School to be active, imaginative and creative whilst enjoying the fresh air and sunshine.
Fun & Active Playgrounds Scored 10/10 from our Youngest Customers
After the project was completed we received an influx of beautifully written emails from some of the pupils at Ysgol Llanllyfni School in Years 4, 5 and 6; written as part of their English Literacy lesson.
“Before our playground was grey and dull, now it is colourful and fun. All children are not arguing anymore, everyone is now playing with each other, no one is lonely anymore. Now all of us are excited to go play outside on our new markings. It has helped children to make friends which is amazing.” Written by Annie.
“We recommend Fun & Active playgrounds to everyone who is looking for someone to transform their school playground into an amazing and colourful playground.” Written by Cara.
“The time they did it was so fast it only took them two and a half days to fill our three big yards with fun games. We all couldn’t wait to play all of the games. We didn’t expect for them to do it that fast we all thought that we were going to miss play time for the whole week but they were so fast doing it we got every play time.” Written by Elis.
“When I saw the finished result I was stunned on how different it looked. I was very surprised to see them using flamethrowers and thermoplastic in the yard. The reason why they used thermoplastics is so it wouldn’t ware off like paint. Personally, I think Fun And Active Is something I’d want, I would definitely recommend this service to other schools that are in need of markings.” Written by Maisarah.
“Everyone is pleased with the work, we like to challenge each other on the long jump and who can finish the running track first. We would definitely recommend this company to some other schools who need new markings and we won’t hesitate to contact Fun And Active Playgrounds again in the future if we need some more.” Written by Alaw.
