Find out how to support new ways into children’s learning through playful, kinaesthetic exploration
For the child, opportunities to play are their way in to asking questions about this crazy world, how it is made, what it – and the people in it – do. They are one route into the development of communication and language, creatively through dance and movement.
This enjoyable pack helps educators to understand how children play and learn through their whole bodies. It enables you to lead children into new areas of learning, allowing ideas to come from movement and imagination working together. It opens a myriad of doors for shared thinking, exciting discussions and a deeper level of learning right across all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
