TASS Play Leaders are an amazing group of children who, alongside our wonderful lunch time staff, take care of dinner time play ensuring that everyone is happy, safe & makes the most of this valuable time together.
The Y5 Play Leaders have taken part in training with Mrs Granger & Mrs Taylor on how to use the playground markings & facilitate other children in play.
They also keep the shed & playtime equipment ordered & tidy, make sure that everyone has some to play with & encourage other children to take part in organised games.
The children volunteer their services for one play time a week at the beginning of each term, they receive training from Mrs Taylor & get to wear a special T-shirt to make them stand out. We have a total of six children on duty at any one lunchtime.
Their role is extremely valuable & we find that they develop wonderful skills of leadership, organisation, communication & an ability to promote confidence & self esteem in others. The children meet every half term with Mrs Taylor & get to discuss the positives & negatives of things that have happened during the week.
At TASS, we value play & know that our children benefit greatly from their interactions with each other!
