Quotes from Teachers
"We all loved Day 2, and I can totally see the development of exploration, ideas, and vocabulary with a 2nd session."
"It was really interesting when our teachers did not originally think that a second session with the same focus would be beneficial for our learners, however, the growth in both student and teacher thinking was amazing."
"Thank you for today, our children had a fantastic time and loved getting as messy as they liked, rather than what normally happens at school!"
"I can see how it allows children to be a lot more ‘hands on’ and gives them the ability to express, navigate, cooperate and collaborate with others while developing their language and their essential skills. "
"Good for those children with anxiety issues and those with ASD."
"I saw questioning, experimenting and sharing ideas."
"A great opportunity for the children to use the key competencies. The junior school is used to discovery learning and this activity enhanced their learning in this area."
"As teachers we tend to direct the learning but we were reminded on and off through the course of the event to sit back, actually play ourselves and allow the kids to question us.
Growing their curiosity in itself is quite important."
"Another fun power hour with STEM Curiosity, the concentration, the extension of play ideas since their last visit, the new vocabulary, and all of the fun!"
