Enhanced Outdoor Learning Through Water Play – A Primary School Installation
A Primary School approached Morti Sport & Play with a clear vision: to create an inspiring outdoor learning space that would spark curiosity, teamwork and hands-on exploration for their EYFS and KS1 pupils. Working closely with the school’s leadership and early years team, we guided them through a range of water-play options, helping them select a system that combined interactive learning features with robust, low-maintenance materials suitable for daily use.
After reviewing several layout ideas, the school chose a multi-station water-play configuration with channels, tipping trays and activity panels — perfectly suited for collaborative play and sensory exploration. Once the design was approved, our installation team completed the project with precision, ensuring everything met safety standards and was fully accessible for young learners.
The result is a vibrant, engaging water-play environment that the children now use every day. Staff have reported improved cooperative play, better opportunities for STEM-based learning, and a noticeable increase in outdoor engagement. This School now has a high-quality, long-lasting water-play area that enriches their curriculum and brings joy to pupils throughout the year.
