Play Based Learning

In our Junior class we run a programme that includes explicit teaching (either whole class or in groups) and play based learning. We believe that learning through play brings numerous benefits to students’ learning and development.

Learning through play is a pedagogical approach where play is the valued mode of learning – where children can explore, experiment, discover, and solve problems in imaginative and playful ways.

An effective learning through play programme enables children to engage in self directed play that is internally motivated. Teachers can support children in play-based learning by providing an enabling environment and sensitive interaction. There is a role for the teacher to discuss, embed and extend the learning with students.
