Random thoughts... Is anyone aware of any secondary schools with playgrounds including swings, balance beams and slides? Or schools who have play equipment out during break times - and if so, what? Could you link in my comments as I'd loved to know and understand how this is impacting student behaviour, friendships and engagement with school and learning 💜 If not, could you comment on the potential benefits and challenges of playgrounds in secondary schools? #playmatters

More fun activities to do with phonograms!! There are just soooo many! This doesn't have to be drudgery. And we need to keep finding new ways to maintain their interest because repetition is so important on the road to mastery. Dictation games are fantastic when you have two children working together. Or, if a child is working alone, memory games are the way to go.

“Stop playing”  “This isn’t the time to play” “Don’t play in school” These were some common statements that we heard while we were school-going children. It is an absolute joy to now see play-based learning garner so much attention, and rightfully so. In regular discussions about learning and education, the notion of ‘playing’ is still sometimes deemed unproductive, disruptive or a mere distraction. However, there is now enough evidence out in the world about the significance of play in education for the holistic development of a child, especially during early years. So, bringing in more interventions that integrate play with education has the potential to yield promising outcomes in the pursuit of ensuring quality education for all!

What is the importance of play? Play is not just a form of entertainment; it is a critical aspect of child development. It fosters creativity, imagination, and problem-solving skills. By engaging in play, children learn to navigate social interactions, develop empathy, and enhance their communication abilities. Play also promotes physical activity, aiding in the development of gross and fine motor skills.
