This is a fabulous blog! A must-read if you are thinking about taking a play pedagogy approach. #ScotEduSky #EduSky
I wrote about my play based practise. I’ve been at this a long time now, across multiple settings and did a MEd in Early Years Pedagogue 7 years ago. Think I’m just about getting the hang of it.
If you put your trust in play - it will be worth it. It is where the best learning happens. #EduSky

Play is the way – even though it takes a while to get the hang of it!
Before Play was the Way When I first became a teacher, the only “play” children were allowed was 30 minutes of Golden Time on a Friday afternoon — and even that was reserved for those who had behav…

Why do children repeat the same actions again & again? Each time can bring a small change, a new discovery or growing confidence. Sometimes the best support we can offer is time, space & permission to keep going. The repetition is often the learning.

❤️ 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.
