Outdoor play (especially messy outdoor play!!) is a fantastic way for children to explore different areas of the curriculum. In this photo we can see three children working on their communication and cooperation skills as they share resources and work out what they are making, developing their physical skills as they mix and stir and handle tools and growing their vocabulary through experimenting with different textures and materials.
For children, play is key in developing skills that they can use as they learn throughout their school and adult lives.
For children, play is learning.
"Play is the highest form of research" - Albert Einstein
