Children not only play but learn, explore, and experience lots of knowledge and ideas through sand play.
Sand play teaches them to gradually build the skills they need to solve challenges rather than avoiding them as we can watch in the video below. It also gives children the opportunity to develop useful social interaction skills while playing alongside other children as part of the Contribution strand.

PBE principle focused: real-world challenge, content-rich, learner-centered, and designed thinking.

Developing interdisciplinary skills.

Interdisciplinary learning gets kids to focus on learning life skills. Interdisciplinary learning focuses learning on life skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, innovation, and problem-solving.

PBE principle: interdisciplinary learning, design thinking and real world challenge learning.

Children in the outdoor classroom.

Education is the 'art of cultivating the moral, emotional, physical, physiological, artistic, and spiritual as well as intellectual-dimension of the developing child'.

Using 3R and loose parts materials contributes to various domain development in children at a young age through pretend play and hands-on experience and it also contributes to the experience of the natural world. It also contributes to being a locally rooted and globally competent child. The child doesn't necessarily have to be brought up in towns and cities to get exploration and experience instead there are lots more around the environment to teach the child wherever they are.

PBE principle focused: interdisciplinary learning, design thinking, real-world challenge, learner-centered and content-rich.

Here is our 3R (reused, reduced, recycled) and loose parts outdoor classroom.
Our classroom offers our children so many opportunities to connect with the natural world in meaningful ways including:

1. A multitude of reused, recycled features for hands-on experiments.
2. Engaging in natural-based objects and structures that encourage open-ended play.
3. For multiple developments of domains for children through hands-on learning.

Materials in the outdoor classroom:
# reused materials like kitchen utensils.
# farming tools
# loose parts materials like bamboo, wooded blocks, leaves, and stones.
# recycled bottles and containers.

PBE principle focused: To develop local to the global context, learner-centered, design thinking, interdisciplinary learning, and content-rich

inculcating table manners in children.

Every moment with children is precious time for them whereas adults around them have to all the time be there to scaffold them. And mealtime is the time when an adult can teach their children about table manners from a very early age.

Children in serious discovery.

We are on another trip to the viewpoint of their village to find where their house is located and what's around their house and surroundings.

Places are content-rich for children to explore, experience, and experiment.

PBE principle focused: content-rich, community as a classroom, connection, interdisciplinary.

Into nature for a nature walk and discovery.

Nature has so much to teach us, show us its beauty and feelings.
In the photographs, children are in a nearby forest discovering plants, insects, and trees with the pictures they have in their center.

PBE principle focused: local to the global context, inquiry-based learning, community as a classroom, interdisciplinary learning, content-rich and connected.
