There's only a few weeks left to tell us how you use the Playwork Principles.
If you provide staffed play provision, in whatever setting, we want to hear from you. Please complete the short online survey - it's only 4 questions - by 31 December: app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk…

And play in schools!
20% of the school day and probably the most important part for children’s physical and mental well-being!

Today’s joyful thing - gathering stuff together as I plan & prepare for 50 Dangerous Things Camp with @JulesMountain for @playlearninglif at Easter. (I dispute any suggestion that I only work on this camp so that I can clear out excess stuff! - the Angry Birds will return home)
ALT Boxes full of stuff from cardboard boxes & tubes to Jose’s and paints

Y1 had fun exploring ice this afternoon, incl speculating where we might find the best examples - and why. Top ice locations included the pond (obvs), the fire bucket, a tuff tray, the inside of a tractor tyre, a mud kitchen pan and a blocked slot drain. #OutdoorLearning

Today’s #EarlyYears #OutdoorPlay calendar will be up shortly… in the meaning, take the Krampus goodies outdoors for small world play.
Today's #OutdoorPlay advent calendar is all about exploring Krampus tradition. Tiny, unique, unusual loose parts are as much fun outdoors as the cable reels, crates and planks. plloutdoors.org.uk/advent
