Stage One- 'Brain Play'

Albert Einstein said play is the highest form of research.
Our Stage One students spend an hour of play each Friday. Some of the activities are pretend shops, building, creating shelters, 'schools,' dress ups, 'vet clinics' and lego construction plus many more! We call it 'brain play' as students are building their oral language, problem solving skills and critical and creative thinking skills. Students learn to negotiate and work collaboratively as a group. It is also fun as you can see from the following photos.
