Divide and conquer!
Get children chatting while you set up designated learning areas with our Chat Back Bench.
Combining two sturdy wooden benches and our robust trellis, increases classroom talk and provides a great spot for a snack, all while organising different learning areas in your outdoor classroom or playground.
Encouraging peer to peer discussion in the early years and beyond is a brilliant way to give your more confident children a chance to flex their conversation skills, while offering developing learners an opportunity to model their peers.
Giving children lots of enabling environments and interaction opportunities also offers them the chance to build on their vocabulary while improving their social skills.
Our cosy benches are a brilliant way to do this, offering an inviting seat to relax and have a natter on whether on the playground or as part of your outdoor area - a great piece of outdoor equipment or playground equipment.
We didn't stop there, though.
By adding a trellis in between these benches, you are able to divide up your learning spaces into designated areas, allowing for a more organised setting.
Plus, our trellis provides bags of opportunities for learning!
Create a water wall, use for climbing plants, or even attach conversation prompts or simple CVC words that your children are working on to the gaps in the trellis.
