Creative Provocations
We have been igniting ideas!
We have been playfully provoking!
We have been creatively curious!
We have been learning with our hands as well as our minds.
Our planning has been focused on supporting children to wallow and be immersed in playful experiences that are offered again and again.
They have been repeating, rehearsing, revisiting experiences.
