Your playground markings, start to finish – our process.
I first visited Castledockrell National School three weeks prior to applying the thermoplastic playground markings. The purpose of my visit to the school was to finalise the schools order and ensure that the markings wanted would fit the intended area.
Once at the school it became evident that some of the existing thermoplastic markings were in a very poor state. These original markings were not properly prepared before application and allowed water & frost to get underneath. Eventually the playground markings cracked and started to chip away. As part of the contract we agreed to remove these original playground markings.
With the schools order ready, I took advantage of a fine dry day and called out to the schools to start transforming their school yard.
The Process.
9am. Before 9am the existing, tatty markings were removed and the yard was measured out.
I started by installing a solid Hopscotch, measuring just short of 3m long and with the four primary colours which really brought life into that corner of the yard. This was followed by one of our newer marking of an A-Z alphabet spiral and our ever popular number snakes and a 3m diameter Target Board.
Giant Ladybird Hopscotch
1pm. By early afternoon it was to me move on to the centre piece of the schools yard – a Giant Ladybird Hopscotch consisting of 16 sections, measuring 3.6m x 3.6m and covering a total of nearly 13 square metres. Despite its size and complexity this markings offers great value for money.
With a vibrant red body, jet black spots and contrasting yellow markings this ladybird makes a great centre piece to any school yard and gives the children hours of fun.
3pm. Finished playground markings project, all cleaned up and ready to get back to the office. The markings put onto the school yard will last the school for many years, remaining vibrant in colour and fully non-slip for safe use in all weathers.
If you should require any information on the markings available, sizes of markings and pricing please do not hesitate to contact me (niall@fitnessfunctions.ie or lo-call 1890-252-856) and I’ll be happy to take you through the proces.

Irish Primary PE Association 9th Annual Conference.
The 9th Annual Irish Primary Physical Education Association (IPPEA) conference was staged in Marino Institute of Education on the 3rd March. The IPPEA was founded in 2002 has a number of aims, principally it is “dedicated to heightening awareness of PE issues in primary schools and it aims to promote physical activity in an educational context.”
This year’s event was a tremendous success and has noticeably grown year on year. This weekend an even greater number of primary school teachers arrived for more work shops, both indoor and outdoor. In the morning the workshops covered areas such as Creative Dance, Outdoor & Adventure and Gymnastics. In the afternoon the focus turned to workshops such as Disc Golf and Yoga for children.
As the IPPEA members made their way between the various workshops there was an obvious sense of excitement, participation and enthusiasm. Without doubt many valuable skills and practical PE activities will be incorporated into the various primary schools PE timetables around the country over the coming weeks.
A Big Thank you!
Fitness Functions would like to thank the IPPEA executive committee & members for the opportunity to attend its annual conference. We were made feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. We would like to thank all those primary school teachers that came to visit our stand with queries on PE equipment, playground markings and services, hopefully our digital marketing manager Niall Clancy was able to assist you.
We now look forward to the 10th annual conference and hope to see you all again.
