Working with Schools

Learning from Play School Partnerships

To help us develop our Learning from Play activity modules we asked the people who matter - primary school teachers.

Through closely working with teachers to develop Foundation Phase active learning programmes in their schools, our learning themes have helped to inspire their pupils. Below are a just few of the comments we have received to date.

Welsh Boxes have been a great company to deal with and are always willing to try designs for something new or to modify designs to meet the needs of the pupils.

As the Foundation Phase is introduced and developed, we shall work with additional progressive primary schools to help us establish new activity modules and active learning themes.

If your school would like to suggest ideas for learning themes or for new activity modules that could benefit other schools in Wales, we would be pleased to talk to you.
