Over the last few weeks, Mrs Cullen has topped up a supply of large loose parts for the students to engage with on the playground, and create experiences known as "risky play". The children have been experimenting in a child-led environment, that fosters creativity and problem solving, to investigate forces such as levers. Research suggests that when children engage with loose parts of all different forms, they develop better critical thinking skills, become more creative and are more physically active. Here at St Kevin's, we are already seeing the benefits of loose parts play on the playground.
