The Power of Play
In alignment with supporting the ‘Smartphone Free Childhood’ movement, we believe that playtimes should be an opportunity for children to make use of all areas of our school grounds, reduce rules, give children choice and teach children to manage risk.
Rules established: ‘Am I safe? Are my friends safe? Am I respecting the equipment?’
