OBSERVATIONS
The temporary stage tied outside the classrooms for functions is used by the children of the school as a plaything. They jump on it. Sit on it, run underneath it and many more things. It is made using : wooden planks, steel columns, bamboo, cloth.
That side of the ground is otherwise less occupied due to the bikes being parked there and absence of a plinth but this stage makes it an active space for children to occupy. It is hence multifunctional for different user groups.
Different areas are occupied by boys and girls at different times of the day. Children use the shaded part of the ground more to play. The plinth allows the children to sit and relax, stand and chit chat or watch the activities on the ground making it a playful corridor. The area near the principal's office and boys washroom is mainly used by boys to play whereas the girls are concentrated on plinths, opposite classrooms and under trees. The staff and visitors too sit on plinth or pockets created to watch the children play.
