‘Investigation time’ takes place three times per week. The aim of this time is to promote a sense of wonder, exploration, investigation, and interest with a rich range of materials, resources and opportunities in which children can engage. Play and active investigation gives children opportunities to develop physical competence and enjoyment, to understand and make sense of their world, to interact with others, express and control emotions, and develop problem solving abilities. Sitting alongside this is our formal learning program. Welcome to Year 1!
