The Science of Discovery Learning. What Every Teacher and Parent Should Know.
Young children (up to age 7) are discovery learners. In evolutionary terms, their task is to explore all the possibilities. They discover foundational principles about how the world works. 1/
Early learners have been exploring how interactions with materials help them develop their thinking and creative skills. Some have been playing with paper, wondering how it can be used, what happens when they move with it and how they can change it.

Preschoolers at Copenhagen International School embraced the magic of live theatre today. Teater Bilk was on campus to spark our young learners' imagination, help them get creative and express themselves and have loads of fun! The giggles, interaction and excitement said it all!
As our youngest learners get to know each other, play is an amazing way in which family relationships are displayed, roles are negotiated, deciding who will be the babies and who will be the parents.

The first adventure trip to the greenhouse, to play and explore. Our young adventurers made mud pies, soup, cakes, cup cakes and muffins. Breaking news: the dinosaurs got stuck in the quicksands, then, in the stone box the meteorites killed the dinosaurs. To be continued. 😉
Early learners at CIS celebrated Rosh Hashanah as part of their unit of inquiry. One of our CIS families brought honey cake, pomegranate and apple with honey to share their holiday traditions with us.

Our youngest learners construct their understanding of the world around them by asking questions and reflecting on authentic life experiences. Here they are exploring the world through their senses, walking barefoot on a sensory path.

‘The early childhood [space]should become a community of learners, where children are encouraged to participate and share with others, and where learning is seen as primarily interactive, experiential and social. Learning to be, learning to learn and learning to live together’
