that's a genius idea - playground on the roof!

[UniqueAndAmazing]

just watching breakfast tv and they're doing a report on a london primary school that has built a playground on the roof.
what a genius idea!

it's extra outside space, it's something that would otherwise be useless.
I bet a lot of the newer buildings could do that - the ones with flat rooves.
they could make them playgrounds or evenlittle gardens - the gardens would mean that education would get added in.

I love it!

I couldn't do playground duty on the roof with a see through barrier [horror]

I am a scaredy-cat heights person too, but it's fine unless you stand next to the barrier - it's only see through from about waist height so I feel quite safe! I am sure it's always at least two degrees colder on the roof though...

feenie I can't look out of upstairs windows

I am not great standing on chairs

I can't stand on a chair

Ok, you definitely win

Where do you stand with spiders?

I like spiders

but not heights (or even lows) with my vertigo

There's one at DS's school. Again in London. Only the older kids are allowed to at up there (years 5 and 6) and so it has MASSIVE status. My yr1 DS looks enviously skywards at it every morning when I take him to school.

I was just coming on to say there is one at St John's in Blackpool! Doesn't Devonshire Rd have an 'upstairs' playground as well as the ground level one too?
