Why Britain is Great: Playground Games

October 23, 2015
Our pupils went to 5NM to learn about traditional British playground games. The children discovered  the origins of games such as 'Ring-a-Ring o' Roses' and 'Oranges and Lemons'. The children discovered some games going back to Victorian times. 'Queelio Cookio' and 'Farmer, Farmer May We Cross Your River' were enjoyed by all the children.
