P1 Play Pedagogy<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The events team has brought to our attention that some local authorities have not been receiving the registration information for the leading play pedagogy in primary one resource. We have had lots of emails from people who did not receive the first or second email attempt to pass it on.<\/p>\n

We have now put everything in to a padlet and this has been sent out and we think that most LAs are receiving this now.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I thought I would send on to you all so you have it as a simple padlet link. We have also extended the sign up to the 13th<\/sup>\u00a0May<\/strong>\u00a0as a result of the email problems.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are currently over 100 schools signed up so far which is fantastic but I think there will be others who just may not have the information they need to do so due to their LA email blocks.<\/p>\n
