Play based Learning.

Play based learning 

In class, our beloved teacher Miss Tupou told us that we get to do play based learning for one whole block! At first we were confused on what that is, we were looking at each other with confusion. Until she told us that play based learning means that we get to do whatever we want for one whole block, but without no technology and we had to use the stuff that she gave us and we had to stay inside. In the middle block, on Thursday may 24th, we did play based learning. It was super fun, we played with items that we usually don't play with, like blocks, costumes and bunch of other stuff. 

My thoughts on the new edition that they added which is Play based learning. Its really fun for me, but not just me but for everyone else as well. Its good seeing people laugh and smiling followed by having a good time. Something that was enjoyable to me, was just having a good time with my fellow class mates. Laughter everywhere, it was really fun and good for us. I think what I'd like to do during play based learning, is to have the opportunity to like decorate the classroom more. You know. just to spice it up a little, but not just me like the whole class too. But I don't know, its just a little opinion of mine. 

The purpose of doing Play based learning in class, is to let the teachers know, what we can do with the items they give us to play with and how we use them in our point of view. It also gives us a opportunity let the kids, have fun and be free inside class. Even though its hard for the teachers to watch us make a mess! Hopefully next week, we get given more opportunities to play with. Something that we could do better is to actually put the items back where we found out, and to clean up our mess after we're finished with it. So that if someone else wants to play with it, they don't need to run around the classroom looking for it. 

We were learning how to play with items, that we usually don't play with, and without technology. It was hard for us, to play with the items as it seemed boring to play with. But it gets turned into something fun if we use our imagination. And that's what I think of Play based learning!
