QCA

Objectives

Children should learn:
  • to take part in setting ground rules for the playground

Activities

Outcomes

Children:
  • In pairs, the children take one of the class ground rules and write examples of how it could apply in the playground, eg be kind to each other - by inviting someone to join in your game. They find three examples of that ground rule being followed in the playground and photograph these with a digital camera. In class the children then discuss, sort and prioritise the photos, eg which photos should be displayed in class and which in the entrance hall (for parents and the whole school to see).
  • understand ground rules and give examples of what following them might mean
  • show that they can follow the rules in the playground

Points to note

  • This activity depends on a set of ground rules having already been established in the class. All the children should have taken an active part in negotiating and discussing the rules.
