What Is It?

Learning Through Play

Learning through play is the process of giving children the opportunity to learn through the first hand experience of engaging in tasks that capture their imagination.
Your children will tell you they are "just playing". In practice, it is more structured and purposeful than they appreciate.
Staff supervise the play at all times, so it is safe, constructive, and models positive behaviour. They gently guide the children, using encouragement and suggestions, to challenge them and extend their learning.

Why Is It Important?

Learning through play is far more central to the development of young children than many parents realise. It promotes confidence, imagination and creativity while building so many essential skills.
Research has clearly demonstrated that, in the early years, a play based approach is far more effective than the traditional instructional method of teaching. It is particularly strong at developing those core attributes of thinking, concentrating, and creative problem solving that are fundamental to further learning.

Learning Through Play At Acorn

Indoor and outdoor areas are sub divided into learning areas. Each areas has its own equipment and resources to encourage a particular kind of activity, and these are frequently changed.
Children are encouraged to become actively involved in hands on activities. These are fun and engaging, while helping them to link new concepts to ideas they already understand.
Sensory activities are used to encourage open ended exploration by seeing, smelling, hearing and touching. We incorporate scoops, shovels, spoons and tweezers. This all helps with developing motor skills.⁠ Communication and language skills are developed through discussion, communication, and teamwork. Children learn to express themselves, and increase their vocabulary. ⁠
Numicon shapes are used as a hands on way to learn pre maths skills through play. They are easy for our youngest children to manipulate, using them to learn colours, sorting, and eventually counting. Our older children use them for building towers, comparing sizes of sets, sequencing, following or making patterns and eventually for counting, addition and subtraction.⁠ ⁠

Loose Parts

In early years education, playing with loose parts is an excellent way to stimulate the Imagination, creativity, and curiosity if children. They can be used for:

Art and design

laying them out in shapes and artistic designs to form a pattern or picture

Early math skills

they can be counted, sorted by size or colour, added to and subtracted from.

Manipulative skills

they can be stacked, lined up, or piled high

Used in games and competitions

where the children negotiate the objective and the rules amongst themselves

What Are Loose Parts?

It is a collection of items that are similar, but also have differences. The differences are often in size, colour, texture or shape.
Common examples of loose parts are stones, sticks, blocks, buttons and shells. They should be small enough for young hands to manipulate with ease, but large enough to avoid a choking hazard.
When presented with a collection of loose parts, children love to sort them, count them or make something out of them.
With no rules and no "correct answer", they make a lovely open ended learning opportunity for young children.

Loose Parts Around The Nursery

You will find frequent examples of loose parts around the nursery, usually displayed in open topped, natural baskets made of wood, raffia, or cloth.
As with all equipment, the loose parts are stored at child height in the classroom, so they can select for themselves what they wish to play with.
