Play Leader Training

Year 6 Yellow House pupils had a great day last Friday learning about the art of leadership. Pupils looked at a number of inspirational leaders, analysed key attributes strong leaders have and then thought deeply about the characteristics they possess and those they may need to develop further.

We played games to develop communication skills, both verbal and non-verbal,  gaining an understanding of the importance of clear, simple and short instructions.  We also had a look at potential risks and how to risk assess before carrying out an activity and the importance of planning and being prepared. Pupils then had a go at leading their peers through a variety of different traditional playground games and sporting activities before planning and leading their own sessions. I was very impressed with the wonderful ideas the pupils expressed on how to develop play time and lunchtimes to be as much fun as possible for all year groups.
