Project Based Learning in Early Childhood – Age 4-5 (Kindergarten)

If you are looking for an inspiration to uplift your practice and create high quality, child-led curriculum with a strong focus on learning through inquiry and promoting children's sense of agency, this presentation is for you. With links to the NQS and the EYLF, this presentation showcases real project work examples undertaken with children age 4-5. It portrays play-based learning intertwined with intentional teaching by using children's interests as a springboard for learning adventures peppered with wonder and surprise.

 

You will discover how engaging in project work enables children gain control over their learning and give them ownership over what happens in the program. When children are empowered this way, they are more likely to actively participate and carry on with a task from beginning to end. This work demonstrates that young children are indeed competent and confident learners capable of developing their own theories and understandings and that through valuing children’s ideas, you can travel to unexpected places filled with exciting opportunities for learning and teaching.

 

Please note that there is a limited number of tickets. Check the schedule carefully to choose the day and time that is most suited to you. Project based learning for 2-3 and 3-4 age groups are also available. You can attend one, two or all three workshops if applicable/ relevant to you.
