A day at the beach: Deep learning for a child

The beach offers a wide open playscape where children are fuelled by curiosity. Whether at the beach or elsewhere outdoors, it helps to take a moment to see the world through the lens of a child who is discovering the world anew, and slow down to be present. Part of what happens through children's play is the exhilaration of making choices. These choices, and their consequences, are part of the child's emerging sense of agency and identity. Children's inquisitive minds crave opportunities that allow them to become designers, builders, mathematicians and innovators of their world.
