Great piece from Anne Longfield in @tesmagazine.bsky.social about the importance of play!
Our @teachertapp.bsky.social shows again and again how important break times and lunchtimes are.

What’s being done to promote play at home and in the wider community?
More play in the wider community and at home would also be a good thing.
On one hand we seem to want children to play more and learn important skills, but on the other hand we want adults to step in and solve all the playground problems.
Unsupervised play seems to be a thing of the past.
