This approach builds on children’s motivation to learn whilst using play as a medium for learning. Through this approach, both the children and the teachers act as co-learners and partners. Play based learning approach stimulates children’s drive for exploration and discovery, whilst leading them to obtain an ownership of and mastery over their environment. Additionally, it allows the children to engage in higher order thinking skills such as, problem solving. This approach promotes positive attitudes to learning such as, curiosity, enthusiasm and persistence. Play based learning approach serves as a strong base for children’s later success at school. Throughout this year, the learning experiences provided will be based on this approach using play as the important tool for learning. Furthermore, children’s work, ideas and thoughts will be documented using the classroom environment as the third teacher and this blog. Through the photos and other material posted here, you are encouraged to discuss them with your children. This will allow the children to think about their thinking and learning (metacognition) and for you to engage in these learning processes.
