BIG QUESTIONS, OPEN MINDS ENQUIRY PACK

💡 Big Questions, Open Minds — Learning Dispositions Pack
 
Help children recognise curiosity, imagination and persistence in themselves, and then give them somewhere to use them.
 
Curiosity, imagination and persistence appear in every planning document and are among the hardest things to actually teach, because a disposition is difficult to practise without something genuinely worth wondering about. Two of these books come from our Learning Dispositions Series and use everyday photographs to show children what each quality looks like in themselves, so that they can recognise it and put it into words. The Power of Yet continues this theme into practical everyday situations. The fourth then places those dispositions in front of a real problem, because How Far Does Space Go? asks a question and never answers it.
 
Whether used across a term or picked up one at a time, this pack builds the thinking habits that make every other kind of learning easier.
 
📘 Includes:
 
I Am Curious – Wondering and wanting to know more, and finding that the more you wonder the more there is to wonder about
I Am Imaginative – Seeing possibilities in the mind, and how imagining something builds the same connections as doing it
The Power of Yet – Turning "I can't" into "I can't yet"
How Far Does Space Go? A question nobody can answer, where curiosity and persistence get used rather than described
