The emphasis is more on co-operative learning and bringing all the children on together. I wondered what …

I was trawling the TES boards, bored this morning with no work AGAIN and I came across this document on the possible introduction of a Foundation Phase in Wales which would cover all children from 0-7 with a greater emphasis on the kind of learning that nursery and reception children are experiencing atm. I think it sounds a great idea, more play in children's learning. I'm not from Wales but it would be interesting to see if this does happen there and what the rest of the UK makes of it To read it (well not all of it, I just skim read!) click on this link below Interesting document from Wales Let me know what you think

Hi - This is just a topic starter post to allow people to follow up the recent overview of research in progress by Dr. David Whitebread and colleagues at Cambridge University. If you haven't read it you can find the article here.

Hello I am doing an expressive arts module and have found while doing activities that the boys although interested and willing only stay and join in for a short while (4 mins on average) compared to the girls who will stay and join in for as long as it takes.

The children involved are aged 3-4 years.
