"Year 4s, you'll be pleased to know there are some very exciting and crazy things going on today."
Mr Cousens
It's the fourth year of the Gr8 Play D8, where - for two days only - teams of Year 8s run fun, enriching activities during breaktime for small groups of Year 4s. Activities included making fancy fruit drinks, mixed sports training, paper aeroplane masterclass, hide and seek in the woods and footgolf.
Mr Cousens reminded the children: "Year 8, this is your chance to lead. Somethings might go wrong and actually that's quite useful... your job is to think on feet and find solutions to the problems, look for different tactics and strategies to make it work and make it fun."
"Year 4 this is a great opportunity for you to get to know some of the older ones. Hopefully you'll get to know them as fun, reliable, responsible role models and you'll recognise them as you go around school."
The Gr8 Play D8 occurred over two days, which allowed the Year 8s to use feedback from the Year 4 children after the first session to change and tweak their playdates ready for the second delivery.
