Dear colleagues,
As the summer has arrived and the children are actively exploring the playground, please be aware of the following:
1. Please provide guidance for students about a sensitive use of water resources or have a professional conversation with your colleagues and perhaps with the children about the use of clean water in the playground. (This is culturally and geographically a challenging or even sensitive issue. I am not sure if we want to stop children playing with water. However, we tend to educate that water is a limited resource in the world. Children enjoy tremendously playing with the water and do scientific experiments etc. or e.g. just pour a lot of clean water on the ground of which would be seen as a huge waste in some other contexts.)
2. Trees and their branches are getting very close and somewhat aggressive attention by some young and energetic students. Let's be vigilant, prevent and intervene.
3. Some students have played with and removed the grates that cover the ditches in the playground. Yesterday, we had an accident where a student was hurt after stepping into a ditch while running in the playground.
