In the words of Albert Einstein “Play is the highest form of research”
At Phonics Stars™️, we believe in play. We provide opportunities for children to learn through play. Our activities can be adapted to simplify or extend learning and how children recreate or play with the toys and games can vary from each individual child.
Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist and philosopher of science.
Even as a young boy, Einstein showed he had a great mind for maths and physics. Albert Einstein’s theories about light, matter, gravity, space and time are forever discoveries that have impacted so many.
Its interesting to learn that Einstein was slow to develop his speech, unable to speak until he was four years old. You can imagine the words used by his grandmother to describe Einstein, in the 1880s children were treated incredibly different to how they are now.
It’s also interesting to find out that apparently he was rather disorganised, often forgetting appointments, socks, brushing his hair etc.
Einstein articulated the principle of relativity and attempted to disprove quantum theory until he died in 1955 at the age of 76.
So from a child who was a late speaker, a person who may have found being organised a challenge, he was actually a world genius.
Children continue to amaze, their curiosity, their minds and how they play is fascinating.
Let children play, for play is the highest form of research.
