Bringing
nature into our home is something which my son and I have always enjoyed and we
take great pleasure in showing off our finds on a permanent nature table. Creating a designated area
like this puts value on his curiosity and love of nature, on his choices as regards
what and how things could be presented, plus it puts value on the items
themselves.

Developing A Vision for Play Time
INSET Day of Outdoor Fun Begins |
At the tail end of the last academic year I
simultaneously launched the Loose Parts Playground and claimed and opened a
large garden space for the Junior School. Both were an
instant hit with the students. Along with many discussions and mini workshops
on play last year, and the set-up of our maker space, we had begun, as a staff,
to re-think our approach to play time.This August’s INSET provided me with the platform to share
my vision of how we can really take play to the next level.
