Part 1 focuses on play and is the first of three sessions. Subsequent sessions will focus on reading and writing.

In this first part, we’ll investigate how students can explore, manipulate and experiment with their environment and develop and practice skills as they play, while at the same time exploring aspects of language, constructing meanings and communicating for a wide range of purposes.

Participants will:
• share classroom practices around play,
• explore how teachers are already linking play and literacy learning
• identify opportunities for literacy development during play scenarios,
• discuss how syllabus outcomes (for literacy AND across subject areas) can be enriched during play.

Please note: this course is available from 21/02/2022 to  07/03/2022. Extensions for Online: You're teaching Kindergarten? It's child's play! 1 cannot be granted unless under exceptional circumstances at PETAA’s discretion

Cost of participation:

Completing Part 1 of this trilogy contributes approximately 2 hours of online learning addressing 2.5.2, 3.2.2 and 3.3.2 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.
