The children will solve a problem that’s presented as a challenge. They will come up with solutions they found as a group following a defined process.
The child:
- co-operates to express her/his own ideas and defend them, to help, to listen to others, to play agreed roles;
- takes part in a collective project;
- contributes to a democratic process;
- copes with mistakes, criticism and possible failure, and is keen to be involved in the progress of the group in a positive way;
- uses a variety of media to investigate or communicate;
- integrates new ideas and explanations of the world;
- identifies things made by humans or their influence on nature, the environment and earth, good and bad.
