Three threads run through everything here

Each of the fifteen activities is tagged to one of them, so you can follow a single thread through the portfolio.

Dialogical thinking

Children reason together in a community of inquiry. Discussion plans give you the questions; the guidelines explain how to hold the space.

Environmental awareness

Sustainability and the climate crisis made concrete for children aged 3–6 — through trees, small animals, water and waste.

Digital transformation

Technology used to open questions rather than close them — with alternatives for classrooms that prefer to work without digital tools.
