Synopsis:

The relationship between children's learning, teachers' teaching and the most effective context for learning and teaching is the focus of this book. The fact that it takes play as a basic fundamental, pedagogical process is quite deliberate! Primary teachers often say that they know' or 'feel' that play for children is a necessary and valuable process, yet they are also aware that this sentiment is rarely reflected in their planning, curriculum implementation or classroom management - let alone in the way they think about their teaching. Human beings of all ages learn through the complex and motivating activities we often call 'play': this is a powerful reason for encouraging teachers not only to provide learning through play for children but to acknowledge the need for teachers to spend more time themselves in playing with ideas for providing the most effective curriculum experiences. Through a range of examples, the author offers ample evidence that playful children deserve this kind of stimulating and inspired teaching.
