The Reggio Emilia approach is a constructivist approach to Early Childhood and Primary Education.
The physical component revolves around the idea that the environment is the child’s third teacher. The approach uses:
- indoor plants
- mirrors
- natural light
- open spaces (connecting to each other)
- (some other stuff I can’t remember atm… I think organised storage was one too)
Yeah… it’s awesome.
This week we looked at the story of The Three Little Pigs. We have heard lots of conversations about the wolf huffing and puffing (and seen it in the children’s play) so we set up a station where the children could make their own ‘Huff and Puff’ pictures. It went down a treat and some children several up to 40 minutes dropping watered down ink onto the paper and blowing it like the wolf :-) It is so nice to see children so highly engaged and the conversations about mixing colours that took place were a treat to hear!
