Sun

An excellent way of enhancing any plain tarmac playground is to add exciting and colourful graphics. Our range of thermoplastic playground markings are an essential addition for any outdoor play area.

Our vibrant, smiling sunshine will bring a fun vibe to any outdoor play space, instilling a playful element to learners’ outdoor play. Also useful to inspire story telling and encourage imaginative play, this popular weather symbol can provide a fun base for any playground games. Children can have fun counting the sun’s rays, reinforcing the using and applying of their maths knowledge whilst getting active jumping from sun beam to sunbeam, improving both their physical development and co-ordination skills.

Older children can use the rays to demonstrate the number bonds for numeral up to 8, reinforcing their understanding of addition and subtraction. Use bean bags to cover some sun beams get the children to engage in fun, active maths and problem solving! Encourage the children to travel around the sun both in anti-clockwise and clockwise directions. The sun symbol itself also reinforces children’s learning in both geography and science, when children learn about different weather types and symbols that represent real objects pictorially.

The personified sunshine can provide a great starting point to encourage children to understand about emotions and support them in starting to explain their own emotions, how they present these and how they are feeling, supporting PSHE and SEAL aspects of learning through play.

Colour and shape can certainly help to improve children’s happiness and well-being and playground markings naturally promote increased active play, both contributing to creating happier, more engaged learners.
