If the child, as a little scientist, is driven to understand their world, what is our role as educators? How can we support children’s social, emotional, cognitive, creative; linguistic and physical development if they have a ‘need’ to know, understand and be able to do things, a need for safety, connection, mastery, fun and freedom and a need to be creative?
What is an Orientation Scheme?
Schemes are repeated patterns of behaviour that help children make sense of their world. When children are exploring Orientation, they enjoy hanging upside down, climbing things, hanging from bars, looking through holes and transparent objects. They turn objects and themselves around and upside down. They may bend over and look at the world backwards through their legs.
