Wise words from @AnnevanDam1966 💗
Does your team have a shared pedagogy centred around:
💗Play
💗Relationships
💗Engaging learning spaces

How might these three elements intertwine?

A beautiful example of loose parts used in arts. How might #looseparts be used to support language? Mathematics? Science? Social studies? Music? PE? Well-being? Other curriculum areas?

“What if materials shape us as much as we shape them?”
A question asked by Sylvia Kind in “Material Encounters”
What are your thoughts?
Join @PressPlay and I to discuss loose parts this Wednesday: eventbrite.co.uk/e/unleashin…
#play #playful #materials #looseparts
Sicart (2014) proposes that playfulness is “the capacity to use play beyond the context of play.”
How might loose parts be used playfully, beyond the context of play, to support learning in different curriculum areas?
