Cos I thought it should be time to chill out with your mates, eat an apple, have a drink, use the loo, chase your friends, play football, skipping, climbing frame etc, but have just been to look round what will probably be ds's school when he starts in September and they were doing something called "huff 'n'puff" which is basically pe in playtime! One class were doing aerobics/dance in the hall (so not even outside) One were doing "follow the leader" with a teaching assistant, then there were ball skills, rope skills etc etc.I'm convinced they do this cos the school is 4 form entry but the playground is not huge so they probably are trying to keep a bit of order/structure. Apparently the chn do this for 4 out of 10 playtimes. Is this normal? When do they get their down time? There is no way I would want to be "organised" in this way after being told what to do all morning. What do you think? Is it weird? I've worked supply in plenty of primary schools and never come across such a high level of compulsory organisation before. I'm rethinking my school choice now.
