Living with Curiosity/Living Creatively

This week we have been trying to emulate Leonardo da Vinci. He was fascinated by how objects worked. He studied machines inside and out. He noticed and wondered, observed and experimented and then used what he had learned to make his own designs or to improve current designs.

Students have been enjoying the chance to interact playfully with world through looking, touching, making, noticing and wondering. They have come up with some great noticings and wonderings, which you can check out on one of the walls in the hub.
