This webinar will consider the importance of a play-based approach in the early years learning environment and the impact playful activities have on all areas of child development. We will discuss how to provide opportunities for child-initiated play through active exploration, in addition to guided play ideas in which teachers take a more active supportive role in developing learning towards a specific language learning objective. The webinar will be hosted by Claire Medwell and is recommended for both Cambridge and non-Cambridge schools.
