Friendly playtimes

Last week over 70 pupils were trained to be either a Playground Friend, Years 3-5, or Peer Mediator, Year 6.  The children selected applied for the positions demonstrating their enthusiasm  and dedication to the role. 

This is a message from them....

Playground Friends

We are in years 2-5, and we help children in the playground, by playing games with them if they are lonely, bored or have no one to play with. We trained how to become Playground Friends, and how to be friendly and look after other children. We help children have a fun playtime, be happy and have friends. Children know who we are as we wear blue hats with “Playground Friend” written on them.

 Peer Mediators

Our team has children from year 6 in it. We patrol the Key stage 1 and Key stage 2 playgrounds. Our job is to solve friendship problems, and we were specially trained to do this. We wear yellow hats when we are on duty, so we are very visible. We will stop arguments and help children to have more fun. They are also welcome to join in with games we play.

We hope everyone has a happy and safe playtime thanks to us!
