Students at Decas Elementary School are busy learning, and they’re having a little bit of fun while they’re doing it.

Kids at the school started using the the newly acquired “Imagination Playground” last week, which consists of several mobile, soft, blue “blocks” that come together to form the playground. With each use, students can create different structures and designs, providing them with limitless possibilities.

“Everybody’s using their imagination, and everybody works together,” said second-grader Devin St. Germaine, 7, "and they can do what they want.”

Earlier this school year, Principal Donna Noonan applied for a grant to bring the Imagination Playground to the school, which was then provided by the Foundation for Wareham Education.

Decas STEAM (science and technology, engineering, arts and humanities, and mathematics) Specialist Melissa Dionne said that the learning tool gives students an early introduction to engineering.

“The students have already been talking about things to add to it — ropes, kites — we’ve been talking a lot about simple machines,” she said. “All the students (in the school) have been introduced to it.”

Dionne echoed St. Germaine in regards to teamwork and creativity.

“They’re having so much fun being creative and using their imaginations,” she said, “and there’s a lot of teamwork going on, which is wonderful.”

Second-grader Sanaii Cromwell, 7, also enjoyed her time using the new equipment.

“We’re making a castle with a bowling alley in it,” she said. “We made a rocket ship last week. It’s been fun making different things.”

“When they fall, you have to pick them back up,” added Samantha Sprunk, 7.

Dionne said any student in the school can access the equipment on a regular basis.

“They can sign up any time, they can use it with their teachers, and they can use it for indoor recess,” she said.

One of the only drawbacks, according to St. Germaine, is the noise made by kids having fun using their imaginations.

“The only thing is that I wish it was quieter,” he said.
