How can we make the Playground Even Calmer and Kinder?

Our Big Question this week was centred around the playground. Children reported back from their classes. See the minutes below.

How can we make the playground even calmer and kinder?

 

Ideas:

  • Be mindful when running really fast
  • Have more adults on the playground
  • Have a story time with group ups and play leaders (in the library)
  • Learn new games (play leaders could help)
  • Calm/relaxing music sometimes
  • Opportunities for more sensory play
  • Area if no one to play with
  • Encourage people to use a quieter voice

 

Actions:

  • Remind peers that there is the friendship bench (All)
  • Remind peers that we need to be respectful of equipment (All)
  • Ask the play leaders if they can teach others new games and have a regular reader (Miss Finch to ask Mrs Smith & Mrs Sheldrick)
  • Clean the friendship sign (Miss Finch & all)
