In this episode you can see a video created by two pupils at Freshford CE Primary School near Bath about 'The Play Project'. This is a whole school initiative that takes place for two hours every Friday when the children are allowed to 'Play'. The video gives the children's perspective, recording the play project with peer interviews, action and discussion that is un-mediated by teachers. Education consultant Adrienne Jones joins project leader Andrew Wishart, Headteacher Anne Forrest and fellow teacher Darren Garside to discuss the project. They talk about the key issues of a relaxed curriculum, building self-esteem, confidence and student voice. How can The Play Project provide evidence of learning? What is different about pupil behaviour and interaction when the teacher isn't there? They also consider the wider implications of using Teacher Video for assessment, CPD and dissemination of ideas derived from their unique project.
