Play Area Shelter at Old Dalby Primary School Melton Mowbray

At Old Dalby Primary School we were excited to provide a Motiva Mono that brought some much needed shelter to a large children’s play area. Coming in at 14000mm x 4750mm and with steelwork in a smart blue (RAL 5010) and opal roofing, it gave exactly the cover they needed.

Project Specification

Product: Motiva Mono™
Size: 14000mm x 4750mm
Steelwork:
- Ultramarine Blue - RAL NO. 5002
Roof:
- Opal

The Motiva Mono is a curved roof variant in the Motiva range and is an asymmetric monopitch structure. It has one side higher than the other and typically is used adjacent to a building.

Sitting directly outside, the canopy also shades the classroom from the direct sunlight in the summer, helping to moderate the temperature. In the winter it provides shelter from the wet weather to ensure that children are able to play and learn outside regardless of the weather. What a lovely new area they have to use all year round.

How big of an issue is childhood obesity and how can this be combatted by teachers and parents

Childhood obesity and associated diseases, such as diabetes are typically avoidable. For this reason, the WHO prioritises the prevention of these conditions in youth, particularly because bad dietary habits and a inactive lifestyle are among the major causes of noncommunicable diseases. These conditions, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer, substantially give rise to the global problem of disease, death and disability.

Additionally, many important studies argue that overweight and obesity in childhood can adversely effect a child’s executive function and academic capabilities. Children who are obese encounter a large level of bullying amongst peers as well as experiences that lower their esteem, therefore posing a risk of developing unhealthy social and emotional factors in children. Social and emotional factors and poor academic experiences that can impact a child through to adulthood.

We can create structures of virtually any size with a Motiva Mono and whilst we do utilise some cost-saving standard sizes, we’ll work with you to determine the best size to cover the area you’re working with.

We have a large range of colours too, meaning your structure can come in a look that suits its surroundings.
