Does your school have rules about how you use the playground?

Are there rules about how you use your school playground?

Some of you may see it as the best part of the school day - break time.

But are there rules about how you use your outside spaces at your school?

Usually, at UK schools, there is time allocated throughout the day for pupils to go outside and spend their break times how they want.

But some schools have different rules about how playgrounds or outdoor spaces are used.

Many schools have spaces specially reserved for those who want to play a sport like football or cricket.

Others have adventure play areas where students can climb, jump or crawl around equipment.

But that isn't always the case...

Do you like joining in with a sport or just fun, free play during your break-times?

If your school playground or field space is shared by lots of different year groups, there may be tricky situations where some children miss out on taking part in their favourite activity.

Football is one break-time activity that often needs a lot of space, but a match can often take over whole playgrounds, meaning those who don't want to join in the game have to find space elsewhere to play.

Equally, a game of 'Stuck-in-the-mud' requires lots of people spreading out over a big area, meaning a game of cricket is limited to a small square of the playground.

This can lead to some teachers and schools setting rules about when certain sports or games can or can't be played.

So, we want to hear about your school playground rules. Do you have set times or restrictions on who can use areas or what can be played?
