The following pictures show our students participating in pretend play. Pretend play is not only fun and can foster friendships with peers but there is a lot of learning that takes place as a result. Students are able to act out scenarios which promotes a positive emotional affect, mathematical concepts can be practiced and language skills are practiced as students plan and execute their play.
"Play nourishes every aspect of children's development - it forms the foundation of intellectual, social, physical, and emotional skills necessary for success in school and in life. Play paves the way for learning." (Canadian Council on Learning as found in the Full-Day Early Learning Kindergarten Program. Pg.13).
