An extra hour of play with the Big Breaktime

The Big Breaktime will see schools and nurseries “down tools” on Friday, June 10, for an extra hour of play.

The NSPCC initiative takes place on Childhood Day and as well as encouraging children to have fun, the event will also raise vital funds for the charity’s child protection work.

Schools are being asked to have an extra hour of play, at a time of day that best suits them. And if possible, schools are asked to encouraged pupils, staff and parents to give a small donation. The money raised goes towards funding NSPCC projects such as the Speak out. Stay safe. programme in primary schools – which works to give children the knowledge and confidence to speak out about anything that’s worrying them, including abuse, so they can get help.
