Early Years | Play-Based Learning
Play is learning in its purest form
Throughout the Early Years there are opportunities for children to learn through:
- exploration of the physical and natural world
- using their senses to understand and learn about their environment/world
- activities that allow them to explore their emotions and feelings
- experiences that allow children to discover things for themselves.
Intentional play gives opportunities to choose and extend student learning according to their interests and knowledge. Planning for play/inquiry, involves consideration of the curriculum, the environment and student’s choice and agency.
