Welcome to The Playful Lens - the podcast where curiosity, creativity and coffee fuel big conversations about learning, wellbeing and play.



Hosted by Gillian (@the_glitter_and_coffee_teacher) and Helena (@experiential.wellbeing).



The episode explores the shift towards playful learning in a Redeveloped Curriculum, the understanding of play in the curriculum, evidence of learning and assessment, professional responsibility and reflection, and the concepts of consistency and adaptability in teaching.

It emphasizes the integration of assessment into the teaching process and the importance of being responsive to the context in teaching.

The conversation covers the role of the progression continuum as a tool for teachers, the fundamental right of play in childhood, the curriculum's relationship with play, the importance of professional judgment and reflective practice and the message from the inspectorate.
