These slides were developed for a school trust learning event in Spring 2024.
Here’s the session overview:
Play Hard, Learn Harder: The Serious Business of Play
Embark on a journey as we delve into eight guiding principles for early years learning. Experience the benefits of play-based education and learn how embracing free play, inclusivity, outdoor exploration, adult engagement, and reflection can help children thrive.
In this collaborative session, we’ll share practical examples and discuss how these principles can nurture growth, foster friendships, and instil a lifelong love of learning.
If you were there, I hope these are a helpful aide-memoire. If not, I hope they make enough sense without me to be useful. If you’d like to download them, you can do so via this page on slideshare.
