Summary:At Albert Bradbeer Primary, planning the role play area is an essential starting point for each term's topic. We follow as the teacher plans alongside the children, finding out their ideas in connection to the current project - Living Things. They decide on two, a zoo and a swamp.A week later we re-visit to see how the role play areas have developed, and just what the children are learning as they play.Professor Chris Pascal from the Centre for Research in Early Childhood helps us to unpack the EYFS document. Play is central to the new requirements of the EYFS and can provide evidence for all six areas of learning. We see how. Inspired by the animals in their zoo, the children ask to build a den for animals to sleep in outdoors. It's a windy day, but the learning is evident as they succeed in building a shelter through sustained shared thinking, collaboration and team-work.
