Examine the photographs of the play areas:
Modern Irish School 9
Have a look at the picture. Notice how the new school hall which you saw earlier is higher outside than the rest of the building.
This is so that children will have enough ceiling height to play indoor games.
Do you see two outdoor play areas in the picture?
One is for basketball.
Below is another photograph showing the basketball court:
