A particular topic or questions are explored over a period of time with a small group or the whole group — it depend on the children's interest. The investigation may continue or evolve into something else. They may last a day, a couple of months or even a year, depending on the interest.
Artwork, Dialogues and Photos
Artwork, photos and dialogues reflect project work, moments and the day to day discoveries. A photo day book is displayed with links to the Early Years Learning Framework and the quality standards.
Critical Thinking and Talking Time
During small or whole group experiences, children are enabled to learn and express their ideas, ask questions and listen to other points of view. We see children as:
Sharers of knowledge
Thinkers
Philosophers
Debaters
Negotiators
Conversation Starter
As adults in children’s lives, we play a vital role in modelling, shaping and supporting their ideas and sense of meaning. We do this by valuing and respecting children’s opinions, listening to their thoughts and challenging their ideas. For example:
What do you know about?
What did you notice about?
Do you have anything to share?
What do you think about?
