This year, at Brackensdale, we have started to run the R-Time programme whole school after trialling it, with great success last year in Y3.
R-time is a structured programme that builds and enhances relationships for children from Early Years to the end of Primary School.
R time is fun and children love it and links to our value of “Be Kind” amazingly.
Each R time session lasts 10 – 15 minutes and takes place once a week
- How is it helping children at Brackensdale to #BeKind?
- It builds respectful relationships and good manners.
- It enables children to develop lifelong social skills.
- It reduces bullying.
- It improves behaviour.
- There are 30 carefully planned sessions for each year group
- There is no educational challenge in any of the activities. They are purely designed to foster and develop pupil relationships
- Children learn to understand and value differences and things in common; and respect the rights of others to have beliefs and values which are different from their own.
