Playful learning in Early Years and Key Stage One

In this hour-long webinar, Ruth will share research, child development knowledge and her experiences of building curricula to support delegates to consider how they can successfully use play as a vehicle for learning with children in the Early Years and beyond.

Key concepts such as enabling environments, effective interactions, characteristics of effective learning and Ruth’s own playful learning continuum, developed as part of her work on “Curriculum Explained” and “Perspectives on Play” will be explored.

Delegates will leave with:

a clear understanding of effective environments
the confidence to make the right pedagogical choices for the children in their care.

This webinar is suitable for Early Years and Key stage one teachers and leaders
