The doctor is IN!

We’ve got the bandages, the "ouchie" juice syringe, and some very brave stuffies. Sparky’s getting a checkup and Mr. Turtle needs a giant bandage!

Payment accepted in leaves and twigs.

Building our very own well!

We stacked up old tyres and mixed a "top secret" batch of mud cement to keep them steady. He is already hauling up "water" in his bucket—even if it’s just air and imagination!

Best. Construction. Day. Ever.

And that’s a wrap on Term 2!

From exciting playtime to endless laughter, it’s been a term full of happy memories.

Our children ended it with joy, smiles, and lots of fun moments to cherish.

At playtime, the sand & water area was buzzing with creativity. Some children carefully picked flowers, while others joyfully flooded the sandpit to make their very own lake. So much teamwork, imagination & laughter in action! @OPAL_CIC #OPALAsia #PlayMatters

Rolling, racing, rebuilding — the marble run is always on the move! @OPAL_CIC #OPALAsia #playmatters

Back to school! The children are excited to see new changes, explore fresh play spaces, and make new friends. From wheel play at the front, to building dens, dressing up, and even enjoying our café corner — the buzz of play and discovery has already begun! @OPAL_CIC #OPALAsia

Play is more than just fun. It’s how children learn, grow, and connect with the world around them. At SCIPS, we are proud to create meaningful, playful learning experiences every day and today, we celebrated it in the best way possible! @OpalCic #InternationalDayOfPlay #OPALAsia

Summer is over and children are back in school. Children discovering new areas to play, making the most of their playtime while socialising and exploring together.

Fun is playing in the rain. We rolled this kayak here on barrels. Monsoon is here! @OPAL_CIC #playmatters #OpalAsia

We supported the International Day of Play as we believe that play is important for children. Here is what we did that day. We will continue to support this in the future. We hope others do too #IDOP2024 @OPAL_CIC #PlayMatters

[Opal Scips @OpalScips]

Today we celebrated the International Day of Play. Every student will have over 2 hours of play. They loved their mud pit, painting, face paints, tinkering zone and so much MORE. Look at the joy. Play matters! #IDOP2024 @OPAL_CIC

[Opal Scips @OpalScips]

At our school, we're giving all our children over 2 hours to play during the school day #IDOP2024

Only 6 days left to the #InternationalDayofPlay.

It’s a chance to celebrate the joy and creativity that play brings into children’s lives, nurturing their imagination, development and social skills.

Are you planning to celebrate the day? If so, how?

[Opal Scips @OpalScips]

Here at SCIPS, we know how important play is to children. We will be celebrating the International Day of Play on Tuesday, 11th June, and are committed to giving all our students, no matter their age, over 2 hours of play in school that day. Who will follow us? @OPAL_CIC

This week we organised our 'Circus of Fun' performance. We had balancing, contortion, gymnastics... We organised it ourselves, made posters, and practised our acts. Look at the crowd who came to watch! We're so creative and had so much fun #OPALAsia @OPAL_CIC #playmatters

[Opal Scips @OpalScips]

It’s a circus out here: one kid zooms on a trike with no hands, two are drumming like a confused rock band, another making funny bottle music, and a crowd watching a boy balancing on a turtle shell.

[Opal Scips @OpalScips]

Tadpoles have been found in our pond and we are more than excited. Every day we come to observe them to see how they are growing #naturesway #playmatters #OpalAsia @OPAL_CIC

We created our own crazy golf course in school and we love it! #OpalAsia #playmatters @OPAL_CIC

[Opal Scips @OpalScips]

We have spent the week building our own parkour course. Each day we add something to extend it. EY loves loose parts. #OpalAsia #playmatters @OPAL_CIC

[Opal Scips @OpalScips]

Jumping over a wheel can feel so free! We loved this play cue today @OPAL_CIC #playmatters #OPALAsia
