At Newday Junior School, we believe that a happy child is a thriving learner. Alongside academics and spiritual development, we make sure our pupils enjoy meaningful leisure time to relax, socialize, and stay physically active. One of the favorite moments for our learners is their fun time on the bouncing castle and with educational toys!
🏰 Fun Meets Fitness: The Bouncing Castle Experience
Children absolutely love the bouncing castle sessions, and for good reason! It’s not just fun—it’s also a fantastic way to develop:
-
Gross motor skills
-
Balance and coordination
-
Social interaction and teamwork
Our bouncing castle is set up in a safe, supervised environment where pupils can freely jump, play, and laugh with friends. It’s a great break after a focused classroom session, allowing kids to burn off energy in a healthy, joyful way.
“When I’m on the bouncing castle, I feel like I’m flying!” – Pupil, P.2
🧸 Educational Toys: Learning in Disguise
We also provide a variety of age-appropriate educational toys for nursery and lower primary learners. These toys promote creativity, problem-solving, and communication. Some of the toys include:
-
Building blocks and puzzles
-
Shape sorters and number boards
-
Pretend play kits (doctor sets, kitchen sets, etc.)
Through guided play, children explore basic math, language, and social skills without even realizing they’re learning!
🤝 Why Leisure Time Matters in Child Development
Play is a vital part of our school philosophy. It helps children:
-
Relieve stress and anxiety
-
Improve focus and classroom behavior
-
Build confidence and social skills
-
Stay physically healthy
At Newday Junior School, we intentionally schedule leisure time as part of our balanced daily routine, ensuring learners enjoy a mix of structured learning and creative play.
