OUR RESEARCH PROJECTS
‘If we believe that children possess their own theories, interpretations and questions, and that they are co-protagonists in their knowledge-building processes, then the most important verb in educational practice is no longer to talk, to explain, to transmit, but to listen.’
Carlina Rinaldi, Reggio Emilia
Research Projects are a feature of The WonderWorks, as children and adults work together to learn and explore ideas, thoughts, questions and just about anything which interest them!
They usually follow this magical recipe:
•Starting point- a HOOK
•Child and adults learn with each other
•A journey of discovery for all involved
•Shared with parents and parent participation is encouraged
•Documented on a big scale so children can reflect and recall
•Can last a few days, a week or even MONTHS
We share these projects directly with families via our online communication platform called FAMLY. We also invite families to join us at our exhibitions and events, where everyone can celebrate our children’s projects as a community.
