The Importance of Play

Throughout this year we will be using a learning through play approach, which basically means that most of the activities that will be taking place in class will be through play. I will not be using worksheets, but I will be documenting children’s learning by presenting children’s own work or through photos. You are encouraged to show the different photos that I will be uploading to the children and create a discussion with them – this will enhance children’s meta cognitive skills since they will be thinking about their learning.

Below, I have included some posters that will show you the benefits of a learning through play approach and also the skills that children learn as they play.
