PB4L Safe and Sensible Games Guide

This week our PB4L lesson was playing safely and sensibly. We decided that one of the reasons why games at playtime and lunchtime sometimes cause problems is because some kids don't know the rules! We created this guide to safe and sensible games. We hope it is helpful!

Leave us a comment if you and your friends try one of these games at lunchtime or playtime :)

I'm Little But a Great Winner!

We were inspired to write by this video clip of a cute little squirrel and a hungry eagle! Watch to find out what happens ...  but be prepared to grip the edge of your seat!

Ben wrote an excellent response to this video clip! He wrote from the perspective of the squirrel, recounting the tough day he had!

It began like any other day. The leaves were swaying down

The sunshine lit up  the forest which is my home. I was looking around for a tasty

nut. Well lucky for me that I found one. That day

I was hanging on a tree eating my big tasty nut. Then

I sensed danger. I looked around, when I

saw it was the evil  hideous eagle staring straight at me! I tried to hide

but he caught me. So the race was on. I ran as fast as

I could . I ran up a tree I jumped on branches , then when I

saw  a  big gap I was thinking  in my head , “can I

make it?” I didn't know what to do so I just jumped.

I closed my eye’s then I opened them I said to my

self, “am I in heaven?” Then when I thought I saw an angel

with wings came flying down to me I said take me to heaven

and then when I looked properly with my little eye’s it was the evil

hideous eagle flying toward’s me again!  So, I got up, ran

all the way to my my nest I  was  safe... but  not for long . Then The ugly bird

was waiting outside for me to come out he got too tired

waiting for me so he came to my nest and started

shaking  my  nest he shook it until i came out! So I fell

out of my nest. I landed on the leaves on the ground. I got back up .

Then when I remembered  what my dad said to me when I was little,

“Son, don't give up, don't let anything stop you”. So I persevered

and started running and running until I  found a hole in a tree I ran all the way

up the tree and jumped in  the hole the bird tried to get in but he was too fat

so from now I call him fatty .
