Choice and control are fundamental characteristics of play, so children are afforded the freedom to engage with the environment and decide what they do with the resources. The activity is facilitated through careful observation, interaction, and occasional intervention.
As well as promoting creative play (combining resources for construction and making things), children engage in a wide range of play schemas and play types: locomotor play (exploring movement through different trajectories and physical actions); mastery and object play (enveloping, transporting and manipulating objects and the environment); imaginative play types (role play, fantasy play, socio-dramatic play); and risky play (being in control while experiencing the thrill of uncertainty).
Above all else, it is a lot of fun!
The incursion will run for 1 hour in our Kindergarten grass area.
