Today is International Day of Play, celebrating the power of play. It is a time to raise awareness about how central play is to every child's development and well-being.
The theme for this year is "Protect play, protect childhood". This theme is a reminder for all of us that happy and healthy childhoods are built on play.
Inspired by Article 31 of the UN
Convention on the Rights of the Child which enshrines every child's right to play, all of our classes engaged in 31 extra minutes of play today. Here is a snapshot of what we got up to; from Pirate play in Foundation Stage, Minecraft Education in Key Stage 1 and Kahoot quizzes in Key Stage 2.

The children engaged enthusiastically in the activities and discussions, showing great maturity and positivity as they prepared for this important next step in their journey. Thank you to Strive NI for delivering such an informative and engaging workshop! 🌟📚🎓
