Guest Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 does anyone know where i can get some cheap gutering from for problem solving activity? also what other things do you think i could use to give to the children to move water from one end of the playground to the other? i was thinking tubes, guttering and maybe buckets! what do you think? any help would be really appreciated!
Guest Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Sorry don't know about guttering ours was there before me. We have a gentle slope in our outdoor area, last term they were moving water between 2 tuffspots and then on to the concrete using guttering and buckets. How about washing up bottles- squeezing it out. ( mark making) buckets or the tea set out of the play house is our favourite. In the back of little tikes cars. or get the children to think about how to move it. or how about in tyres, ours are always full of rain water how ever hard i try to empty them.

narnia Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 I bought several lenths of guttering from Focus.............................but if you ask Band Q, they do have a community charity scheme, which enables them to donate things to groups. so worth a phone call to the manager of your nearest store?

Guest Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Ask parents if they have any lying around. Window companies -who are always replacing it.
Guest Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Re B & Q - be really cheeky! We managed to get enough from them to build and stock two huge planters, including tools, etc.
meridian Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 I bought some from Wickes really cheap ..cost about £20 for 8 lengths, I think.
