Learning Through Play translates the theory of play into practice while seamlessly integrating the Australian Curriculum, government policy and current trends. It aims to create a shared understanding of play and play-based pedagogies that positively influence the everyday practices of educators and improve the learning experiences of children. The book extensively covers the various contexts that children may engage with during the early years - the period from birth to age 8. Learning Through Play is structured to complement the Early Years Learning Framework and early childhood education studies. It begins by drawing on theories to discuss the centrality of play to children's development and learning, then delves into the practicalities and challenges of implementing these play-based approaches, and finally discusses the future of play in early childhood contexts. With several learning features that blend theory, context and practical skills, Learning Through Play will not only help pre-service teachers to understand play in principle and in practice, but also to advocate articulately for play-based approaches.

Delving into secret diaries, unpublished letters and the neglected service archives of our stately homes, Tessa Boase tells the extraordinary stories of five working women who ran some of Britain’s most promin...
For 150 years Northgate, the main road into the town of Darlington, in the north east of England, has been dominated by a large Victorian church with its 120 foot steeple & large, solid, blue entrance doors. This book opens those large blue doors & gives us a fascinating glimpse into 150 years of church life and the changes in society over that period. It takes us from the first Minister, Rev Johnman, who was attracted to Darlington because it offered 'plenty of hard work, ' through to the newest member's description of coming through the big blue doors for the first time. On the way it covers members' memories of the way in which the church shared in their life-changing events, such as the adoption of children, marriage, serious illness and death. They are all set against the backdrop of church activities and the ever-changing society. As well as appealing to anyone with a connection with the church, this book will also appeal to anyone who has an interest in the social history of Darlington.
