Summary of Week 3

  • Children use patterns of behaviour called schemas when they are playing to help them develop their thinking and understanding.
  • Babies need to spend time playing on the floor to allow them to explore movement and build their strength.
  • Treasure Baskets and loose parts play give babies and toddlers opportunities to use their senses to explore the world and develop their learning.

Something to think about this week

How do you ensure that the children you work with are provided with opportunities to engage in schematic play?
