Playtime plays an essential role in children's development, contributing to their physical, mental, and social growth.
At LEH Foshan Prep School, we recognise the significance of playtime in our students' school lives. Our young learners enjoy various playtime sessions throughout the day, providing them with opportunities to relax, engage with friends, and nurture their well-being.
Our school schedules three daily playtime sessions:
Morning Break, 10:20 - 10:50 AM
After-Lunch Playtime, 12:20 – 12:40 PM
Afternoon Break, 3:40 – 4:00 PM
These moments of respite are vital to our students' daily routines. They serve as a time for students to recharge, participate in enjoyable activities with their peers, take care of the beautiful Prep Garden, or play games in the play area after lunch.
Playtime at LEH Foshan Prep School offers a multitude of benefits that encompass physical, mental, and social development. It also has a positive impact on students' academic performance.
Physically, playtime allows students to engage in active play, promoting their physical health and well-being. These breaks provide an opportunity for them to run, jump, and exercise, which is essential for their physical development.
Mentally, playtime offers a break from the intensive learning in the classroom. It allows students to relax and de-stress, resulting in a more focused and engaged learning experience when they return to their studies.
Socially, these playtime sessions foster strong bonds between students of all year groups. The unstructured nature of play allows children to interact with their peers, develop essential social skills, and form lasting friendships. These connections can have a profound impact on their overall social development.
Contrary to what is commonly believed, playtime isn't just for entertainment or relaxation. The benefits of play extend seamlessly into the classroom. Students who have enjoyed playtime return to their lessons with happy faces and a refreshed mindset, leading to improved behaviour and concentration. This, in turn, positively influences their academic performance.
One of the highlights of our playtime experience is the outdoor playground, a space loved by all Prep students. Here, our young learners can choose their favourite equipment and have a blast with their friends.
The outdoor playground features an outdoor classroom, a playhouse, an exhilarating slide and tunnel, delightful seesaws, engaging climbing ladders, and jungle gyms. Each element has been thoughtfully designed to cater to the unique needs of our Prep School students, ensuring their enjoyment, education, and safety. The vibrant colours and interactive features of the playground create a unique and immersive playing environment that sparks creativity and fosters curiosity.
In addition to the playground, there are also various facilities, including children-friendly climbing walls, a sandpit, a multiple-use game area and an open court, to accommodate a fast-growing number of students. These are places where students can enjoy a variety of games and activities, further enhancing their physical and social development.
Come and visit us at LEH Foshan Prep School and discover a place where your child's growth is nurtured with love and joy.
