Sparking Curiosity to Provoke Learning - Dinosaurs
17 Jun 2019
Discovery abounds in Reception class as they transport back to prehistoric times as their classroom is transformed into a ‘land of dinosaurs’. There is just something magical that happens when children and dinosaurs collide. At Wellington, we believe that curiosity and engagement is a critical motivator for learning among young children and this week, our Lead Reception Teacher, Ms Kristy Dingli, discusses how exploring dinosaurs can spark curiosity to provoke learning.

The possibilities for learning, when children are curious about something, are truly endless!
The best lesson to learn as an influencer of children, be that as a parent, or as a teacher is that, if you tell a child something and they may remember it, but, allow them to learn it for themselves, because they want to, and they will remember it, forever.
“I hear and I forget, I see, and I remember, I do, and I understand.” (Xun Zi)
