“Thank you to all the parents who have joined my parent workshops this month. I have enjoyed meeting all of you and I can’t wait to hear how the activities that you would like to offer in response to your child’s scheme investigations have been enjoyed. Keep in touch!”
Lynnette Brock, Director of SchemaPlay (TM) Pedagogy
Operational schemes are usually defined as repeated patterns of behaviour. They are often applied by children in their play because they feel empowered in carrying out the action. It is something that they have worked out that they ‘can do’ . This recognition of a new capability is exciting for them and as educators, we are really keen to support children’s scheme applications to foster this self-esteem, joy of engaging in activities and to support and extend their learning. There are some articles below, but please do come along to our Parent Workshops (as advertised below), as we are keen to support children’s engagement and learning at home and we would truly love to hear all about the schemes your child enjoys applying and provide some activity suggestions.
The short video recording below provides a very brief introduction to schemes to help start your ‘scheme spotting’.
