Play time is certainly a time where you can just be. To run wild on a blustery day, relax and read a book in the mid day sun. Play is a time to run free, to explore new possibilities, to form new unexpected friendships. Games are played with an unknown endings so that excitement bubbles ready for the next break. Many think that playtime is a break from learning however, play is a time of learning. Learning to communicate, problem solve, acquire new skills, to become resilient, to become a new friend. All this in the simple act of play, such a small word and yet so big.

All of this has been so evident today, as the children have enjoyed wearing their PJ’s. Spiderman has played with unicorns, Harry Potter with Stitch, Man City with United, the list is endless!
