Prae Wood Primary School
OPaL- OUTDOOR PLAY AND LEARNING
Friendly Fridays
With thanks to our Prae Wood families kindly donating pre-loved items, we've added dressing up to our range of fun activities for the children to enjoy on Friendly Fridays - everyone has loved expressing themselves via the medium of fashion!.....
Our second session ran on Friday 28th February, made all the more fun with the lovely spring sunshine. Everyone had a wonderful time using the equipment available to them and playing with their friends in different year groups.
At the start of February 2025 we enjoyed our very first Friendly Friday, where children can choose where they would like to play anywhere across the school site. Our youngest pupils were supported by their older buddies and staff on hand to make sure everyone had a great time, despite the drab and chilly weather
Did you know, children in British primary schools spend 20% or 1.4 years of their school attendance in play?
Research shows that play contributes to children's physical and emotional health, wellbeing, approach to learning and enjoyment of school
In addition to our play co-ordinators, a keen group of Year 6s have also volunteered to be OPaL Organisers - a vital role in helping get the project up and running.
