This involves being imaginative, creative, original and innovative.5 Play is about participants wallowing in ideas, feelings and relationships, and becoming aware of what we know .6 It actively uses first hand experiences.7 It is sustained, and when in full flow, helps us to function in advance of what we can actually do in our real lives.8 In play we use technical prowess mastery and competence that we have previously developed. We are in control.9 Children or adults can initiate play but each must be sensitive to each others personal agenda.10 Play can be solitary.11 It can be with others each of who is sensitive to fellow players.12 Play integrates everything we learn, know, feel, relate to and understand. https://padlet.com/laetitia_mayne/v9javpg30970/wish/394930888 2019-10-08 10:58:58 UTC https://padlet.com/laetitia_mayne/v9javpg30970/wish/394930888 OFSTED EARLY YEARS INSPECTION HANDBOOK :) hello so me and tyler have found ..... still currently working ..... nope nothing .... nope still nothing , ofsted check the setting if they have their own rights and to see if they are letting the children free flow play and thats all thank you :) https://padlet.com/laetitia_mayne/v9javpg30970/wish/394931093 It is the role of the setting to help children get different experiences through life and play over the 7 different areas of play.

Inspectors will consider how children learn through the different characteristics of learning. These are:
1) Playing and exploring
2) Active learning
3) Creating and thinking critically]]> 2019-10-08 10:59:40 UTC https://padlet.com/laetitia_mayne/v9javpg30970/wish/394931093 Learning, Playing and Interacting - https://moodle.cornwall.ac.uk/pluginfile.php/660060/mod_resource/content/0/Learning_Playing_Interacting.pdf It links to Bruce’s theory through that it states that ‘child-initiated play, actively supported by adults’ should be supported at all times, just as Bruce thinks. This is because free flow play should be child initiated, with the support and supervision of adults when necessary.This document also states that ‘They actively drive their own learning and development, by the choices they make, the interests they develop, the questions they ask, the knowledge they seek, and their motivation to act more competently.’ Which supports Bruce’s theory as they direct their own thinking.Children develop at different rates, have different interests, come from varied cultural backgrounds and unique families. Practitioners ensure provision reflects and supports all children.Respectful and caring interactions are the basis of emotional security which supports learning. Practitioners give priority to a key person, and respect feelings and opinions. Children need time, space and materials to play, investigate and explore. Practitioners observe, then organise spaces, materials and the flow of the day.Experiences offer stimulating opportunities to explore, be active, and think creatively. Practitioners ensure challenging opportunities across all six areas of learning. https://padlet.com/laetitia_mayne/v9javpg30970/wish/394931187 2019-10-08 11:00:01 UTC https://padlet.com/laetitia_mayne/v9javpg30970/wish/394931187
