Edinbarnet held its second block of Stay Play and Eat in Term 3. Again, the initiative was aimed at children in Primary 1 and 2. We had such a large intake of pupils and parents that we doubled our numbers from the original block and had to create a waiting list! We loved seeing the enthusiasm and interest in our initiative.
This block there was more of a focus on the impact of learning taking place during each session. Miss McKelvie and Miss Hampson created resources and games to suit the individual abilities of the children attending. We assessed the children's reading prior to and after attending Stay, Play and Eat. We also assessed both parents and children's attitudes towards reading prior to and after attending Stay, Play and Eat. We seen a huge increase in both these areas and will continue to run Stay, Play and Eat in the future!
