Here are some photos of the children over the past few weeks enjoying Inquiry through Play. This is a lovely time in Room 11 where the children decide what they would like to play... I am the photographer and the creator of a safe space for them to develop the key competencies which are part of our New Zealand curriculum.
The New Zealand Curriculum identifies five key competencies:
- Thinking
- Relating to others
- Using language, symbols, and texts
- Managing self
- Participating and contributing
Millie, Rose and Katie loved making fortune tellers. Millie made the smallest one and then they cooperated to make a giant sized fortune teller..
Sometimes children will hear about something on the news and then have to recreate it in their play to make sense of it...
I love the creativity by this time of the year in the play.
I have watched Nate develop in his play over the year. He began the year making towers by himself that were small. Through the year the towers have got bigger and more elaborate. He has now started to include other equipment and even give the towers names. This week for the first time he invited Angela into tower making. Look at the creation they made together...
What happens when you empty the blocks out of a box? Well by this time of the year you get really creative and make a car...
