One of the many activities taking place during Childhood Day was The Big Breaktime, where nurseries and schools were encouraged to down tools and enjoy a ‘Big Break’ from the school day to focus on play, while at the same time raising money to support the NSPCC’s work with children.
Islandmagee pupils had a fun time playing traditional games including skipping, hopscotch, hula hooping and ring toss.
