Are you observing children, for example, repeatedly:
• Deliberately dropping things?
• Moving things from one place to another?
• Constructing fences and barricades to enclose themselves or animals?
• Twirling and spinning around?
• Covering and hiding things?
You are seeing schemes in action!
Schemes are patterns of thinking and behaviour that help children (and adults!) make sense of the world as they try to find out how things work.
Schemes are ‘short cuts’ for thinking about a collection of concepts and powerful motivators for repetitive action.
Schemes are visible in, and supported by, play.
In turn, play is supported and validated by an understanding of the research evidence underpinning schemes.
“When we can identify, value and respond to the unique ideas and concepts children are exploring during their schematic play pursuits, we are able to nourish their thinking and support meaningful learning continuities through free-flow play” – Lynnette Brock
Join Marie to learn how to incorporate schemes in your planning for play!
