INVESTIGATIONS, TAKING THEM OUTSIDE

Promoting cooperation and creativity with Loose Parts Play in the playground (including play pods).

For Primary schools and Early Learning centres wanting to take play and investigation pedagogy to the next level. How do children play? What can we do to enhance play experiences, build skills and confidence in all areas and reduce negative behaviours? (and the need for constant adult intervention?)

IN THIS SESSION WE WILL:

• Explore stages of play and the natural and meaningful role play has for children
• Inform you of relevant research
• Develop understanding of the benefits of incorporating nature play and loose parts into the school playground
• Discuss techniques to create a culture of positive behaviour and well being
