From “I can do it” to “I understand.”

Building words, then putting ideas on paper

With a movable alphabet, a child can arrange letters to build a word while still developing pencil control. Working with sounds and letters connects with conversation, books and handwriting. The aim is to understand and communicate, as well as to recognise a symbol.

Understanding what numbers mean

Beads, number cards and fraction circles give children something to count, arrange and compare. A quantity or relationship can be explored before it becomes a written calculation. The materials help connect the symbol on the page with the idea it represents.

Choice with guidance

Choosing an activity is part of learning. So is receiving a demonstration, practising something familiar and being introduced to a new challenge. An educator’s attention helps connect those experiences.

Learning alongside others

Leaving materials ready for the next person, respecting a friend’s space and asking for help are part of sharing the classroom. There is room for individual concentration and for learning from one another.
