Munch Monitors

Munch Monitors

At Haydonleigh, as part of our Citizenship education, and to help children develop the skills of communication, timekeeping, prioritisation and organisation, Year 5 children take on the responsibility of Munch Monitor.  

 

Having this responsibility helps further develop their confidence, self-esteem and leadership skills. Munch Monitors set a good example as role models to others.

 

Our children tell us they enjoy the responsibility and helping younger children.

Here are some quotes from Y6 children:

 

“I was delighted to be a Munch Monitor because I was able to help little people with their lunches. It feels good to be a role model”.

“I enjoyed helping because I learned that the harder you work the better the reward”.

“Team work can be better than one person”.

“I was enthralled to be a Munch Monitor as it was a please to meet people I had never even seen before”.

“I liked munch monitoring because you were trusted with a large responsibility”.

“Being a Munch Monitor gave me an opportunity to be a good role model and allowed me to have more responsibilities”.

“When I was in the small hall, I got to meet the adorable reception children”.

“Being a Munch Monitor allowed me to work as a team and be respected as a trusted individual”.

 

Munch Monitors have responsibility for a range of jobs and these vary each week.

They include:

 

  • Collecting trays
  • Serving water
  • Helping to tidy the hall
  • Collecting younger children

Mrs Waldron, our Senior Lunch Time Supervisor, has trained the children so they are effective and responsible in their roles working alongside the MDSA team.

 

Once a term, the Munch Monitors will have a treat as a huge thank you for their help.

This is also an opportunity for the Munch Monitors to discuss any problems or issues they may have and to come up with a solution together.
