Living Streets - WOW - the walk/hop/skip/cycle to school challenge!

Start the day off the right way...

We are encouraging families to ditch the car when possible and walk, hop, skip or cycle to school!  Each day pupils will complete the 'Travel to School' tracker and if they commit to travelling sustainably once a week for a month, a badge will be awarded!  There is a different one for each month !

Lunchtime Games

Mr Kemp will be organising playtime games alongside our Year 5 Playleaders!  If you prefer some quiet time of reflection, please speak to Mrs Shaw or Mrs Leigh who will be happy to arrange space for mindfulness.

Playleaders

We have recruited a dedicated team of Year 5 Play Leaders. 

This very exciting role involves organising and modelling how to play games. 

The team are responsible to organise equipment tidy away as well as ordering and replenishing resources. 

They also ensure children feel happy and safe whilst playing. 

These leaders wear a special badge so you can identify them easily. 

Active Playtimes

Keep fit everyday! 

Phase 1 and Phase 2 of our playground games are now complete with outdoor gym equipment, a trim trail, new games marked out and zones separated by sensory planters.  We also have a prayer hut for quiet times of prayer and reflection.

The 2 hour training is designed to give the pupils an understanding of what makes a good leader, what leadership qualities they may need, to build their confidence to deliver structured playground games and to understand the importance of safety through the S.T.E.P process, whilst always thinking about the key aspects of:

-Enjoyment 

-Cooperation

-Opportunities/Inclusive

-Safety

-Instructions

-Responsibility
