The well-equipped playground in the primary section of Chung Ching Middle School, complete with its swings, seesaws and slides, has been a favrourite place for the children since its installation last year. They have nicknamed the equipment there ‘the big toys’ and are seen frolicking around the place whenever possible. The inclusion of playtime at the playground into the school life of children illustrates the importance the school gives to balancing the intellectual and the physical development of the children. The playground provides a safe environment for the children, to experience carefree pleasure, without fear.
