on reflection: ask yourself

do our objectives set us up to fail?




could we use...
to explore
to unpick
to unlock
to consider
to try




what have i learned?
what can i do with what i have learned?
did i take any risks?
was there a chance that things could go wrong?
could i have been embarrassed?
did i have to justify an opinion or idea?
what was my opinion or idea?
why did i do that?
did i explore new territory or new materials?
was i challenged?
did i collaborate?
was i listened to?
was i valued?
did i get ideas from somebody else?
have i changed the way i see or think?

curiosity and communication


amulet
ritual
hierarchy


Giving the children a strong voice in the planning of their learning.
what are you curious about?
how do you like to learn?
how will we share what we find?

offering them a collection of magical objects and playing with the themes that arise.

Here we will explore ancient Egypt through a simple suitcase.
