What is Discovery Time?
Teachers are saying....
Videos on play & learning
Discovery Time is a ninety minute, action packed, activity based programme. Held once a week, it provides opportunities for teachers to meet the diverse needs of students through well planned, structured, ‘hands on’ experiences. Students get a chance to take control of their own learning. They are motivated and fully engaged. Best of all, it is fun!
Teachers are saying...
“It puts balance back into the curriculum.”
“It puts students in charge of their own learning.”
“It’s a chance to stand back and really observe your students.”
Students are saying...
“It’s the best part of the whole week.”
“You learn to challenge yourself.”
“You get to do stuff that you have never done before - you think you can’t do it, but you can.” The possibilities are endless...
Dr. Ken Ginsburg addresses critical issues facing children and families today - rising levels of stress and anxiety, obesity-related health problems, dramatically reduced time for free play and play outdoors, hectic and over-scheduled family life - and offer solutions to addressing these problems.
