Project based Learning 

16

Play and Enquiry based learning
(PEBL) in Primary

• PEBL allows for both independent and group learning.
• Children can work at their own pace in a positive learning environment.
• Children have the space to ask questions and follow their own path to learning. It

encourages them to follow their own interests and passions.
• Teachers can use the pupils’ questions to shape their lesson plans and play to their

curiosities.
• It provides an opportunity for reflection for both the pupils and the teacher. Pupils

can look back on what they’ve learnt and achieved, and teachers can reflect on their
successes and what could be improved for future lessons.
• Children become more confident speakers by participating in a number of class
discussions.
• Children feel motivated and inspired to answer the ‘big question’. This propels them
through their learning and the project at the end of the three-step process.
• It’s an active teaching and learning approach which means children are more involved
in their learning, and therefore more likely to remember what they’ve learnt.

17

Displays

We embed PEBL (project/enquiry-based learning)
to develop research and synthesizing skills, promote
student agency, autonomy and to develop our pupils to
become independent life-long learners.
