 Dear Community Trust

 Otama School needs a new playground.

 We want people coming in from morning tea and lunch happy, because they have had something fun and enjoyable to do during that time. Having a good playground in front of our school could bring new students to our school. People being able to see kids playing and having a good time on a flash playground shows them we care about our school.

 The playground we have now was bought second hand years and years ago. Which means we are due for a new playground.There are bits on the playground that aren't safe and a real danger hazard.The fort and other bits of the playground are loose and are easy to see from the road where people look at our school and probably think we don't care at all. The fort is probably ready to came down. Is that really safe?

 We work hard at school for 6 hours! We go out for morning tea for 30 minutes and we go out for lunch for a hour. Between our brakes we stop working which means it's time to have fun. What other way to have fun then play on a new exciting enjoyable playground that everyone likes. The one we have now is really old and breaking and it's not very attractive to kids.

 Research has shown that everyone functions better when they have a change of pace.Young children do not process as much information as older kids which means they really benefit from breaks.

 Because of these reasons we think we deserve a new playground and we would like the Community Trust to help fund it.

Yours Sincerely
Eden Baynes
