Play based learning

Fun in the sun!




Play based learning is something that is being incorporated into the New Entrant classes.  Play has a vital part to play in children's development and is the way in which children first learn how to negotiate, share, turn take and learn many other skills.



Today both all the children in Rooms 1 and 2 had an opportunity to participate in many different learning opportunities from recording their learning outside, to drawing, painting, playing in a band, creating and building the Auckland Sky Tower out of boxes.  There was messy play in which there was opportunity to talk about textures- how things feel and use all our five senses to play.
