PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS BECOME ‘PLAYGROUND LEADERS’

Richmond School Sports Partnership recently hosted training sessions for pupils in Years 5 and 6 to develop their confidence in becoming playground leaders.

 The pupils were taught about the important roles of a good leader and then explored the importance of good communication, honesty and how to adapt their games to make them as fun and safe as possible.

The pupils are now tasked with taking this training back to their primary schools to make their playtimes fully active and to help all pupils to achieve the government recommendation of achieving 60 minutes of physical activity every day.

Many thanks to the following schools for supporting this event:

Aiskew, Barton, Bedale, Bolton, Brompton, Carnagill, Crakehall, Hipswell, Leeming and Londonderry, Masham, Pickhill, Ravensworth, Reeth and Gunnerside and Richmond Methodist.

Thanks also to Mrs. Carruthers for organising the event and all primary school staff for supporting another activity that serves to strengthen sporting links between Richmond School and local primaries.
