Children learn through experiencing different types of play. This allows them to become actively involved in their learning. The great majority of play activities in Playgroup do not result in an end product. The children get pleasure and experience from the process of 'doing'. Pink Panther Playgroup follows the curriculum framework for children ages 3-5 published by the Scottish Executive Education Department. This outlines five key aspects of development:-

Time, areas and activities in the playroom are organised to provide opportunities for the children to develop in all key aspects mentioned. In the playroom we have :-

	Home area		Drawing table
	Computer		Sand pit
	Construction area		Outdoor play area
	Jigsaw puzzles and games area		Water play
	Art / craft area		Book corner

These are changed around regularly in response to the children's changing interests and development needs and ensures a stimulating environment is provided. The children also use the school music room and musical instruments and have weekly visits to the school gym.
