Indoor Spaces

Last updated 30 April 2025

You can integrate the knowledge, skills and dispositions in Discovery of the World into learning centres such as the Discovery Centre, Construction or Block Play Centre, Art and Craft Centre. These spaces help children to:

  • Learn and explore topics of interests

  • Develop and use process skills

  • Engage in meaningful and hands-on experiences

  • Work, play and interact respectfully and cooperatively with their peers and teachers

You should carefully choose resources that would arouse children’s curiosity, promote inquiry and provide opportunities for them to develop and practise their process skills. This could include resources such as:

  • Natural materials

  • Live specimens

  • Tools and equipment

  • Recycled materials and loose parts

  • A variety of open-ended materials 

  • Video, audio and picture resources

  • Resources for recording purposes 

A small but intentional selection of resources/materials encourage children to be more focused and actively engaged to explore and construct knowledge.
