A recent report has found that young children are not
receiving the play-based education they are supposed to because
of pressure on practitioners to prepare for more formal learning
in later years. In this engaging and stimulating guide, Ros
Garrick considers every aspect of outdoor play - from its
rationale in early childhood education, to incorporating it
successfully into the curriculum and assessing its wider
implications for teaching and learning. This new edition has been
brought up-to-date with recent national and international
research, the Every Child Matters Agenda and the Early Years
Foundation Stage guidance. New case studies and examples of
international practice are included, as well as a fully updated
list of useful organizations and agencies.
