Playground Buddies
Our Playground Buddies for this Term:
Our Manifesto:
We (playground buddies) have the responsibility of making sure everyone has fun on the playground.
As playground buddies we are in charge of setting up the playground. We set up the quiet area for years 3,4,5 and 6. The quiet area has Lego, books, colouring and games. The children have large cushions and comfy bean bags to relax on. Playground buddies also set out the equipment for all year groups. We have bats, balls, a giant connect 4, skipping ropes, hoops and hoppers.
We make sure that the equipment is in good order and that nobody is using it inappropriately.
We monitor the playground so if anybody gets hurt we can calm them down and get help and if anyone is lonely we can start a game with them or buddy them up with someone.
Our role as a Playground Buddy includes:
Looking after children.
Setting out equipment.
Packing the equipment back.
Teaching children to share.
Creating games for children.
We help children when they are sad.
Encourage them to make new friends.
Show children how to use the values.
Help them with friendship problems.
We show them how to respect the equipment.
Teach children how to respect each other.
Make them happy when they are sad or alone.
Autumn Term update:
In this term the playground buddies have enjoyed helping all the children and setting up the equipment.We have really enjoyed supporting the reception children and teaching them how to take turns and help them get used to mixing with older children. The quiet area that we set up has been very popular, especially with the younger children who really enjoy playing with the lego.
