Professional Reflections


Personal inquiry, reflection or research is an effective and deliberate way to inquire into my learning as well as the learning of students; here I reflect on what I read, see, hear or wonder and how it affects my professional practise.

Finland, and its highly regarded education system, is now recommending that its children participate in physical activity for 3 hours per day, reports the BBC. The Finnish Minister of Education believes their is a correlation between their highly regarded and successful education system and how active their students are. 

The benefits of outdoor play go beyond physical development. Their is much research to suggest that outdoor play supports children's problem solving skills and nurtures their creativity, whilst also increasing a child's attention span. Having children play outside together, in unstructured play aides the development of social and behavioural skills, as was discussed in my September 7th blog post.
