Power of Play
Together with the LEGO Group we are delivering the Power of Play in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets along with partners Save the Children UK, Young V&A and Easypeasy.
This unique borough-wide initiative draws on the expertise of each organisation to create a unified step change in harnessing the power of play to promote children’s wellbeing, essential skills such as creativity, confidence and communication as well as future potential. It will use a three-pronged approach within homes, schools and across the community, deliberately working in close collaboration with the local community to ensure play opportunities are meaningful and locally relevant.
The Institute of Imagination will design and deliver creative curriculum enrichment across 40 schools in Tower Hamlets. These imaginative, playful experiences seek to inspire both children and educators on the power of Learning through Play to promote children’s learning outcomes and develop a child-friendly and engaging school curriculum for the future. We will develop a community of practice for educators to develop a peer-to-peer training community within the Borough to support ongoing rollout of Learning through Play in schools. We have started this with our 4 Hub Schools across the Borough: Thomas Buxton Primary, Cayley Primary, Bonner Primary and Harbinger Primary.
You can view the Thomas Buxton Day of Play video here.
