Playful inquiry and project work: Sustaining children’s thinking in projects

Through play, children make sense of their world and try out new theories. Bring together play and project work – it is here the magic happens. Project work sustains children’s inquiries, so they move from shallow learning to deep level learning. It values time, space and resources as key contributors to children’s sustained thinking. In this webinar, we will explore how educators can support playful inquiry and project work, and we will share examples of what this might look like in practice.
