❤️ this! It captures balance of child-led play, playful provocations & short, focused teaching inputs. It’s always a joy seeing classrooms where children have freedom, agency & joyful learning opportunities all wrapped into one. @edusky.bsky.social #ScotEduSky
This is the balance I aim for in Primary 1. We’ve got free play going on most of the time, plus short playful independent tasks and short teacher led sessions - that also often tend to be pretty playful.
Play IS the way!
Happy children learn.

“We can’t master our skills unless we have numerous times to do it. That’s the importance of uninterrupted play. It allows time to really connect up your learning.” ✨

Such a great idea to support professional reading- the gift of a book, sharing one change to your practice as a result of reading and then passing the book to a colleague

Lens 4 of our Reflection with Guidance toolkit asks, “How do we capture transformations, the impact on all actors, and the changes apparent over time?”
Take a look at our case studies which demonstrate how to capture transformations for children, adults, practice and pedagogy here: bit.ly/3FJebqR

One of Froebel’s most quoted phrases ‘everything connects’, succinctly summarises the concepts of interdependence, interactions & interconnections. Observing & analysing connections between children & adults helps us better understand each actor’s experience.
