(PRE-ORDER) Ordinary materials, extraordinary possibilities

Materials are a substance or mixture that constitutes an object. This is a wide concept that includes a multitude of possibilities. In this documentation, we focus on materials that we can use to support learning. These materials may look ordinary, but when in the hands of children, they become extraordinary. Some materials have this unique power to be used in different contexts; others could seem limited to one context.

This publication, featuring work from EtonHouse International Pre-School Claymore, documents the beauty of these ordinary materials and their unique potential. It is an invitation to join us in this journey, to observe the school community’s inspirational work towards inquiry, exploring the possibilities of materials, and ongoing learning.
