11 | Scrapstore Playpods | Kirsty Wilson | Have you seen the DVD? Would you like to know more about the Scrapstore PlayPod? The Scrapstore PlayPod project works with primary schools to change play at lunchtime, with amazing results. This is done through providing loose parts to play with but also work with the school community to understand and value play in it's own right. This year we have been working with play provider to deliver Scrapstore PlayPods in new areas. The workshop will aim to show what the project is about, the impact it has had on primary schools and how it is being rolled out. www.childrensscrapstore.co.uk |
