Lunchtime Play at LHS

We have recently introduced Play Zones to our outside areas during lunchtimes. This offers structure and choice to the children through various and engaging activities that are suitable for all ages. Our aim is help children channel their energy through creative, imaginative and constructive activities that also makes the playground a fair and safe space for all children to enjoy.

The year 6 children take responsibility for a zone each lunchtime by setting out equipment and arranging games and activities for the other children to take part in.

Play Zones

Quiet Zone - For children who prefer a more relaxed space. Activities include colouring, drawing, reading, puzzles and crafts such as loom bands.

Role Play - The stage provides the perfect setting for imaginary play. Children can sing, dance, cheer and put on performances for friends.

Ball Games -  Two ball games will usually be on offer each day in a specific area of the playground. Games include tennis, badminton, football skills, netball and basketball.

Traditional Games - Taking place in the KS1 playground, this zone offers a variety of traditional playground games such as skipping, hoopla, hopscotch, giant dominoes and Jenga. There is also chalk available for children to get creative and create their own games.
