Hi everyone,
It was another day filled of some amazing learning opportunities for our capable and competent learners in the Village today!
Today the students explored another of our Learning Powers, Curiosity.
“This is about my desire to investigate, find more out and ask questions, especially ‘Why?’ If I am a curious learner, I won’t simply accept what I am told without wanting to know for myself whether and why it’s true. I might challenge what friends, leaders, parents, teachers, colleagues say, rather than take it at face value. I want to know the reason for everything, as young children often do.”
The students then discussed with their classroom teachers what they thought curiosity is and what they are curious about! We also meet are class representative, Mr Kangaroo, who represents and showcases an abundance of curiosity in our learning environment.

Our eager learners where then able to explore their new knowledge of curiosity through their play based investigations where students created, investigated, challenged, shared and supported one another through their 100 languages of learning.
All four classes today had Music with Mrs Rebeiro where they worked on simple rhythms and beats, focusing on “Ta” and “Ti Ti” sounds. They then got to have a go at playing their rhythm on the drums at the end of the lesson.
Have a look below 🙂
Wishing everyone a pleasant evening!
God bless
