Children create understanding and knowledge of their world by interacting with the environment and the 'things' within it. While they are doing this, we often observe them repeating actions over and over again and see repeated patterns in their play. If you would like to find out more about schema play and how to support schema play in your early learning and child care setting then this engaging, interactive and fun workshop is for you. There will be opportunities to engage in thought-provoking conversations with fellow Educators and explore a variety of materials and experiences that support schema play. This three-part series will support Educators to develop environments and experiences that facilitate cognitive development through schema play.
This second schematic play session will look at schema play through a lens of early Mark Making, a prerequisite for the development of literacy skills, and explore how educators can introduce schema play materials and experiences to their environment to support mark making.
