Yesterday was the last session of the year at Pitton, and we asked the children what they wanted to do, what materials they wanted to use, and showed them photos from across this year to support them in remembering the range of places and materials that they had explored so far.
They chose to revisit the junk materials, and the outside spaces and features around the pre-school, creating moving structures from bamboo, foam, and a strong wind, working together in teams to develop new relationships, and using role-play to test out new or recurring ideas.
A case study exploring the learning that has taken place for individual children at Pitton Pre-School, as a result of their involvement in this year’s research, will be published over the next couple of months on the 5×5x5=creativity website .
