Play Based Learning

Room One have been learning in a play based environment this year.  We are currently developing more outside areas to invite children to play and imagine more.  If you have any ideas, or skills that could help us in this area, we would love to hear from you.

This 'car,boat,bus,train' has been a big hit!  Thanks to Peter Gwyn and Paul Allen for putting it together for us.
