Research Question

Can the imaginative play of the children be developed through a more imaginative outside space?

Creative Practitioner

Louise Plant

Methodology

• Louise, the children and staff will work together to develop ideas for the outside space which will help the children in their imaginative play, especially the development of language.
• If possible a trip will be laid on to the YSP for parents to enhance understanding of the project.
• Louise will also work with materials - paper mache. etc - to make structures for the new space - these structures will be non-specific and may be finished by staff.
