Today was a day all about exploring magnets. We learnt how they could repel each other as well as attract. What things stuck together and what things wouldn’t. We even learnt that they could work through the base of the tray and table.
Exploration, as seen in these photos is just one of the strands in Te Whāriki, our Early Childhood Curriculum. This strand emphasises that “Children learn through play: by doing, asking questions, interacting with others, devising theories about how things work and them trying them out and by making purposeful use of resources. As they engage in exploration, they begin to develop attitudes and expectations that will continue to influence their learning throughout life”.
