Parents – Record observations about children’s activities
Co-DB – Support Adults and children to engage with the equipment and activities, record observations and conversations
Everyone- Participate in take home activity, what is our learning? Capturing that learning and think about what it means for our final design.
What we are exploring?
Light and Dark
Natural vs Electric/artificial
Adaptability – how can we adapt light in the space? Over heard projector, different colour gels, moving and changing light lights we make
Prompts for conversations:
What is light for? Visibility, aesthetics, the sensation of the passage of time
How does light effect the space? Light is emotive – linked to our well being and experience of a space
How are the children using the light?
Learning through play, what are the play possibilities of light?
How can we use light to meet our aims, hopes and objectives for this Nursery?
How can we offer opportunities to change/adapt the light in our space? Curtains, screens, light sources, reflections, shadows.
