St John’s Primary School and Gloucester Road Primary School are both taking part in the programme designed to encourage and promote positive play amongst children.
Children attending are required to sign up; the programme covers a variety of skills from teamwork, sportsmanship and individual achievements. The sessions are also designed to develop hand and eye coordination, confidence and understanding of the activity. It is hoped that the children attending will play these more traditional games at home or in their local park.
Laura Loving, Play Development Officer, said: “The sessions aim to promote and encourage play amongst classmates. We are delighted that they have proven to be so popular with the club being full at each school, and we hope that we will be able to take the sessions to other schools in the future.”
