Perfect play leaders in Years 5 & 6

 At lunch time some members of Year 5 and 6 come down to play with our EYFS children. 

They display our school value of service excellently, giving up their lunch play to develop relationships and bond with the smaller children. 

Jion - ‘I like playing with the kids and it is fun to be with them because they make up fun games.’ (Y5) 

Jason - We made a band. I like being with the children. It’s so much fun.’ (Y6)

Moksh - ‘I get that we get to play with them, it’s fun.’ (Y5) 

Cassius - they are all nice, they play nice games. (EYFS) 

Joe - I like making games up and playing with the little ones. (Y5) 

Nella - ‘They make lunch time more fun.’(EYFS)

They create games together, chat together and read together. 

This is mutually beneficial for both the older and younger children. The Year 5 and 6s build their sense of responsibility and Reception children build their social skills and confidence.
