Today we had our first play session with all pupils in Primary joining together across the different classrooms and corridor spaces to experience a range of play activities.  As expected, the first 30 minutes involved the pupils flitting around as they explored what was all on offer.  After that, the pupils fairly settled and we witnessed some lovely interactions taking place between the pupils.  A range of skills were on show in this first play session including: creativity; problem-solving; perseverance; team work; communication; fine and gross motor and imagination to name a few!  Some pieces of creative work have been put aside to continue next week.

We look forward to working together as a staff team, with the pupils, to develop these sessions over the next few weeks.  Overall, a very positive introduction to play across the Primary with some heartening feedback from the pupils and encouraging observations from staff.  Here are some photos to show you a snapshot of the play activities taking place:
