P1/2 | McLean Primary School

Teacher – Mrs Smart

This session we are continuing to develop our play pedagogy and have made significant changes to our learning environment. Children in P1 and P1/2 are working across three play-based classroom settings and embracing the opportunities to learn through play each day. Mrs Smart and Miss McKeever are working with the children during their play and all adults are involved in observing the children’s play and planning next steps. All children will also work with Mrs Smart and Miss McKeever at the “Teaching Table” for focussed, targeted learning suited to their individual learning needs.
