Thus educators should strive to  create an environment/culture where has opportunities for communication and collaboration, exploration is inviting, learning is genuine and meaningful to the young learners.    ]]> 2020-03-31 00:59:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/483400851 kgilder https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/483402546 Respect works both ways. Just because they are small their voice needs to be heard just like anyone elses. Children should be given the time to express their feelings in a respectful manner whilst listening to them.

Having a strong knowledge base about play and how that sit within the Inquiry process. And as teachers that we see the image of a child is capable, unique and creative being that is nurtured in a trusting environment.]]> 2020-03-31 01:07:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/483406680 kgilder https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/483409119 Embracing an approach where Questioning, wondering and theorizing alongside children as they learn and explore.]]> 2020-03-31 01:11:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/483409119 https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/483410018 I like the idea in the article how they formed small "expert groups" based on interests of the individuals.

Good observations on children and communication within the team play a key part ]]> 2020-03-31 01:12:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/483410018 https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/483413736 I feel our inquiry learning is very similar to what they do at the inter- community school.

Build relationships (engagement) -- share observations with the team -- find approaches to apply central ideas with children's shared interests -- create a range of choices where learners can discuss and apply knowledge and skills

Everything is carefully planned out within teaching groups, reflecting children's interests, strengths and challenges they may face. ]]> 2020-03-31 01:21:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/483415847 https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/483462007 That children are agents of their own learning. When children have choice and agency in how they spend their time, they build rich theories and are motivated to explore. ]]> 2020-03-31 02:34:58 UTC https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/483462007 vfield1 https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/483464156 We both see the importance of providing a learning environment that is actively engaging to students and provide opportunities for exploration. That we think carefully about the materials we choose and how the classroom is set up in a way that is inviting to the children. 
The importance on relationships between teachers, children, parents, family and wider community. That we value the culture and life experiences of our families and that diversity is celebrated.

That we see children as competent and confident learners who are naturally curious and eager to explore. It is important that we listen and value their contributions, ensuring they feel respected and part of our learning community. ]]> 2020-03-31 02:43:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/483467163 vfield1 https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/483472298 I really like how the teachers observed the children using the learning space and different provocations. There was a real focus on listening to the children and giving them the freedom to explore spaces in their own time. 
Observation plays a key part and working collaboratively with other team members.   
I also really like the idea of Peer feedback, children communicating and sharing their ideas with one another. ]]> 2020-03-31 02:51:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/483472298 vfield1 https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/483477679 I believe that the teaching team have a shared view and philosophy when it comes to how we respect and value the children as learnings.

The posing of purposeful provocations is something I feel the Kindy does really well. I think we need to not feel that we have to have our teacher questions answered. If we drive our inquiry through the concepts the teacher questions can evolve alongside the student questions. We need to give them a chance to question first,]]> 2020-03-31 22:20:24 UTC https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485505724 https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485528326 They are capable, unique and creative.

As a teacher, it is a bit challenging how to make the most of their inquiry learning without much teacher's interruption. ]]> 2020-03-31 22:53:04 UTC https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485533298 rkulkarni https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485533663 The inquiry has to revolve around the learner. 
Give children the opportunity to question, wonder and take ownership of their own learning
There have to be opportunities for exploration through play]]> 2020-03-31 22:53:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485533663 rkulkarni https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485536012 These are some similarities which I found: 
Learning through play
Providing provocations 
Learning beyond the class room 
making learning visible through story park and wall displays 
Discover and Discuss]]> 2020-03-31 22:56:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485536012 rkulkarni https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485537369 I believe that teachers and children work in partnership. Teachers give the opportunity to the children to explore, problem solve and ask questions. This helps children to take ownership of their learning. Teachers observe and document children's learning and further their interest by providing more experiences and questions. Off course this involves setting boundaries. ]]> 2020-03-31 22:58:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485537369 rkulkarni https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485540882 We take into considerations children;s interests and their abilities before we pose a task to them to problem solve. 
We think of them as capable and competent and take into account their curiosity and prior knowledge to further their interest. ]]> 2020-03-31 23:02:34 UTC https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485540882 kgilder https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485541692 I think the follow on from Kindergarten into Year 0 supports meaningful inquiry really well. Which then connects strong links between the whole learning community. As a group of teachers we have a shared understanding of meaningful inquiry and really strive to provide learning/provocations that will drives each child's curiosity.  ]]> 2020-03-31 23:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485541692 rkulkarni https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485543043 I like how they focused on observing the children and listening to them. May be reflecting on our provocations can help us achieve this. They have some really cool questions in the article o consider while we reflect on the provocations provided. 
I like how we have started to work with children in small groups and giving them enough notice before we interrupt their play. 
May be we can use this small group approach when we ask questions related to inquiry as well. ]]> 2020-03-31 23:05:27 UTC https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485543043 kgilder https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485545208 This term I have found modelling to the children in a group before we start something has been a great opportunity for them to share ideas, and reflect collaboratively. Once we've had a chat and delved deeper the children are free to explore within their environment (that has been purposefully set up) while we pull 2-3 children at a time. This has been great in terms of interrupting their flow. ]]> 2020-03-31 23:08:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485545208 https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485547085 2020-03-31 23:10:59 UTC https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485547085 shan247_1 https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485550052 I believe collaboration helps children to discover their own strengths, interests, and capabilities, but also to find each other's. That includes collaboration between teachers and children, their families, and colleagues. By doing that, I believe children can feel that they are acknowledged and ownership to their work, too.]]> 2020-03-31 23:15:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485550052 kgilder https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485551228 Our planning has been a lot more open this tern. We have a rough idea from children's interests but are flexibility to go with them in their wondering. Then we fill the planner afterwards. More child led and authentic.We have been packing up as much encouraging the children to re-visit once they return]]> 2020-03-31 23:16:40 UTC https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485551228 https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485552344 Children are capable, knowledgeable, curious and competent learners. I believe that relationships and communications are central to their learning. Not just with children also families. The children go home and continue exploring their inquiry. In this point, we are doing a great job in collaboration with families through Storypark, face-to-face interactions, newsletters, Discover and Discuss session ect. ]]> 2020-03-31 23:18:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485552344 kgilder https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485552792 Writing down children's questions and wonderings and revisiting this as you work alongside them in their play.

They need hands on trial and error play, this sensory exploration helps them make sense of the world around them. They also need strong role models. Young learners imitate what they see others say and do. When learning is role modelled for them without them being told this is the only way they have the opportunity to follow a scaffold on which to construct their own understanding. Children learn in a variety of ways and at different rates and need to be given small group and one one time to help them go forward in their learning. At the froefront of it all young learners need to feel safe, secure and valued in order for them to take risks in their learn.]]> 2020-03-31 23:52:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485575861 https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485582861 I think across the Kindy and Junior School community this concept is being explored and taken on board that young learners need to be active learns and that inquiry play can provide this platform. I think that we are all still working through what is play, what is inquiry play and what is directed play.]]> 2020-04-01 00:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485582861 shan247_1 https://padlet.com/lguillard1_1/cnxuohmr2d6y/wish/485587375 We consider our children as competent and capable learners.
