ABSTRACT

One interesting feature is the playworker’s role as a facilitative adult who, having organised the event, is constantly observing its impact upon the children.

It must have been the dulcet tones of Handel’s Water Music suddenly emanating from the murky interior of the ‘Cottage’ which seemed to interrupt the total bemusement which had, until then, so completely taken over her composure. The lined-up reception party hadn’t helped.
