Young children are naturally curious. They enjoy exploring, experimenting and asking questions about how things work.
Within The Brighter Learning Approach, curiosity and exploration are encouraged through our Super STEAM learning experiences, which support children’s development across science, technology, engineering, arts and maths.
The curiosity and exploration section on our Next Stop School tracker celebrates the curiosity children show as they investigate the world around them.
Explore nature together
A walk outdoors can lead to wonderful discoveries. Talk about what you see, hear and feel.
Try simple experiments
You might explore: • what sinks or floats • mixing colours • building structures with blocks
Encourage questions
When children ask questions, encourage them to think about possible answers.
Curiosity is a powerful driver of learning, and encouraging exploration helps children become confident learners.
