What our children know about PLAY (and what you should too)

What our children know about PLAY (and what you should too)

Save

Throughout 2022 we consulted with hundreds of children of different ages across Maribyrnong to find out what they thought about play – what do they like to do, where, with who and when? They told us what the research shows worldwide: that play is important, valued and critical to children’s health, wellbeing, development and learning. And it brings JOY!

In this session we will share a range of information gathered (pictures, quotes, charts and graphs) as part of our Passport to Play Project. All families and children welcome.

STEM Hour: Supporting Transitions through Place-Based STEM Learning

When children move between home, early learning, and school, they often face new people and expectations. Children’s confidence in these transitions will depend on whether they feel a strong sense of connection between and belonging in each space — and STEM is a powerful tool to support this.

STEM Hour: Integrating Arts into STEM for Meaningful Exploration

In early childhood, STEM learning builds on children’s prior knowledge, encourages collaboration, and nurtures creative thinking — making it a natural partner to the Arts.

STEM Chemical Reactions Workshop

This workshop explores the fascinating relationship between chemical reactions and language development in early childhood. Come along to learn how to recognise chemistry in children’s everyday lives, find opportunities for age-appropriate chemical exploration, and explore the pedagogy behind language development through STEM inquiry.

STEM Water Workshop

Have you ever met a child who was not fascinated by water? From ice blocks to raindrops, children love to explore water. Come along to Little Scientist’s foundational workshop to explore STEM through the vehicle of water and the critical pedagogical topics of co-construction, metacognition, and inquiry-based learning in early education.
