"Play Matters"
I am reading Kathy Walkers book "Play Matters" and thought her opening pages were very relevant as we start the new teaching year."We cannot possibly teach the content or knowledge of all there is currently to know in the world, or predict what information will be necessary in the future. We can, however, provide learning environments that offer lots of practice in how to make decisions, initiate ideas, persist,find out, try again,take risks, explore and research in a range of ways that relate to children's own unique interests and endeavour; and to balance this with with the areas of content and information that we as educators wish to introduce and provide."
