Review: Having an embedded ethos of Learning through play in our classroom, the importance of real-life experiences is always uppermost in my mind when planning our learning journeys which is why Early Vision had immediate appeal. The whole philosophy of the scenarios lends itself to whole-class teaching, and the quality of the short film clips is so good that my class knew immediately what and how they wanted to play after watching them. I cannot praise the film footage highly enough, as this type of child-friendly factual detail is otherwise really difficult to track down. The quality of their learning was superb, and the pleasure they gained from wrapping, weighing, sorting, ordering and labelling parcels was tremendous! Best of all, they didn’t need me to interfere!!! Early Vision is a marvellous tool for children to enable independent learning, as it really gives children the confidence and direction for them to extend their own learning within the confines and security of their setting. I was also very impressed with the ideas within the training film, and incorporated many of the ideas immediately to enhance my own practice.
