Children are not usually allowed in the building without an adult.
Any teacher wishing to keep children in at break time should arrange to supervise
them him/herself. The teacher should ensure that the child has an opportunity to
have his/her snack and drinks despite missing playtime outside.
• All children should be encouraged to go to the toilet and wash their hands at
the beginning of each break time.
• Children are allowed to eat fruit/vegetables at playtime, not sweets or crisps.
• Fizzy drinks and glass bottles are not allowed at break times.
• When appropriate, play equipment is designated to each Phase who are
responsible for its safekeeping and the monitoring of in/out routines.
• A whistle will be blown by one of the supervising teachers 2 minutes before the
bell is due to go. This will be the signal for children to stop playing and to stand
still. The teacher will then blow the whistle again which will signal the children
to proceed to their class lines.
• Teachers must be on the playground 2 minutes before the bell, in order to
receive their class and to accompany them into the classroom.
• Children line up in an orderly fashion and are led into class.
