@outletscot.bsky.socialWho needs art supplies when you’ve got #nature?
A handful of brambles becomes paint. A stick becomes a paintbrush. And suddenly, there’s creativity, experimentation, problem-solving and learning happening.
No template. No right answer. Just curiosity and freedom to explore.
@primaryteachermary.bsky.socialThis is an HQ build by two children. They waited to hear ‘beep, beep, beep’ and then left it to help people in trouble! #PlayIsTheWay
@blairdardieprimary.bsky.socialLots of learning and working together in Primary 1a! 😊 ⭐ #successfullearners #playistheway
@primaryteachermary.bsky.socialWell I did enjoy my meal of fish and chips served with wine! We even had someone taking orders on a clip board. Great play and developing literacy skills happening in continuous provision today. #PlayIsTheWay
@primaryteachermary.bsky.socialOne learner said ‘I made a triangle man with circle eyes.’ Another using vocabulary - heavy and light as they experiment with scales and playdough. This is an example of explicit teaching input spilling over into free play and consolidating learning. #PlayIsTheWay
@primaryteachermary.bsky.socialIt’s that time of year when we pick apart sunflower heads. It’s all very interesting! #PlayIsTheWay
@blairdardieprimary.bsky.socialPrimary 1a have had an amazing first few weeks at school! We love learning through play in our classroom and the Play Zone! 😊 ⭐ #playistheway
@outletscot.bsky.social⚙️ It’s not “just” play. It’s PHYSICS!
A bucket. Some balls. A pulley. A tree.
And suddenly we’re exploring weight, force, movement, cause and effect, prediction and problem-solving.
They’re not thinking “I’m learning.” They’re just having a go.
Play is learning. 🌳
@primaryteachermary.bsky.socialIt’s has telescopes. It has laser shooters. It has hidey holes, and a door. You need passcodes to enter. A world of role play story telling going on here.
This is writing! Yes it is! #PlayIsTheWay
