CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR NEWLY TRAINED 'PLAY LEADERS'

At the beginning of the Spring Term, all Year 5 pupils were offered the opportunity to become 'Play Leaders'.

The aim of the Playground Leaders scheme is to introduce and develop leadership skills in Year 5 children by training them up and getting them to organise activities for other children in the playground. We hope that it will increase the amount of physical activity undertaken during playtime and ensure all children enjoy their playtimes, with a range of activities available and groups of children to play with. The scheme will also hopefully raise self-esteem and self-confidence of the leaders too.

Each lunchtime, our Play Leaders will organise an activity for either KS1 or KS2 children. Any child is encouraged to join in if they need someone to play with or want to take part. Play Leaders also ensure that our play equipment is being used responsibly and shared. The Play Leaders will wear a bright yellow visibility jacket, so they are always visible and easy to find by the staff and children. After an intensive 8 weeks of training led by Mrs Wood, 12 pupils have successfully completed the course and received their special ‘Leadership’ certificates in assembly. Congratulations to: Maddy, Zumra, Alina, Leila, Rebecca C, Rebecca T, Bella, Thea, Emily, Matilda, Hattie and Abigail.
