Our Y6 REPs have already launched the Happy Playground Campaign and have been completing a survey in Y3 to 6 during playtimes in to find out pupils’ views. They are investigating what pupils like to play and what other games they would like to see introduced on the playground. They are also collecting ideas for games that the PE department can play with pupils at lunchtimes.
We will talk about the campaign with pupils from Y3 to 6 in our SEAL assemblies on Friday 25th October.
The REPs are also investigating issues that may arise on the playground to help us eradicate these and make playtimes even happier for everyone.
We would love families to participate on the blog by discussing the following questions at home with children…
What do you like to do at playtime?
What new games would you like to see introduced?
Thank you in advance for your ideas. We will share the results and the outcome in our November Newsletter.

Hears another one:I had a little puppy.
His name was Tiny Tim.
I put him in the bathtub,
To see if he could swim.
He drank up all the water.
He ate a bar of soap.
The next thing you know,
He had a bubble in his throat.
