Playground Friends

To be a playground friend is good because you get to help lots of people and play lots of games and stuff, so that people don't get bored.

There are space hoppers, hoola hoops, skipping ropes, chess, draughts and so on. All these have been divided into four zones in the playground. These are:

Children playing Chess.Zone One Here, we have got games like Chess, Draughts, Jenger, Catscraddles and so on.

We play chess like we are 'Grandmasters' and it looks really good and makes me happy. ..."Knight to Queen's bishop five!"

Zone 2: Here, we have hand games such as Parachute, Quenio,Quenio, River bank, and so on. "When the parachute is being pushed up it goes up like a thunder" ...wow, is it good or what?

Zone 3: Here, we have Hoola-hoops (not the eating kind!), Spinning -plates and Space-Hoppers. "When I see the children rolling the plates it's just magic! The plates are spinning very fast" ...Ohhhh, it's just soo-soo fantastic!

Zone 4: This is also known as the Ball-Zone, with games such as Basketball, Soft balls, Tennis balls, Rackets and so on. "When I saw the children playing tennis like Serena and Venus Williams, it was fantastic!"

Last but not the least, is The Friendship Stop! If you're feeling lonely or upset, well never mind, the Friendship Stop will help you find a friend or a game!

Remember... A playground friend is always there to help you!

I feel proud of myself being a playground friend.

WE LOVE BEING PLAYGROUND FRIENDS AT SHAKESPEARE PRIMARY SCHOOL WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-WOW!!!..
