Teachers in The Experiential School use loose parts to spark children’s creativity and innovation. Loose parts are natural or synthetic; found, bought or upcycled materials that children can move, manipulate, control, and change within their play. Alluring and captivating loose parts capture children’s curiosity, give free reign to their imagination, and motivate learning.
Chargers have been exploring the endless possibilities of bamboo during outdoor play. Bridges and traps were built and stories were told as the construction evolved, conflicts were generated and solved, problems became challenges and above all, there was beautiful collaboration.
The Experiential School will continue to celebrate the inspiration that comes with using diverse, free, and found objects.
