Guest Wolfie Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 You mean a quote from a renowned theorist? Or something more general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest justinece Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 ‘We live in a relative universe and …relativity seeks adjustment; that adjustment is art; …the art of life lies in a constant re-adjustment to one’s surroundings’ (Okakura, cited in Cohen, 2005) How is this?

belle06 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Hi If you search in google it brings up websites where you can get inspirational quotes if that is what you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 (edited) You mean a quote from a renowned theorist? Or something more general? I would prefer something a bit more general as the presentation has got plenty of references to the theorists, nothing too heavy if you know what i mean! Thanks, its harder than i thought!!!

Guest Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Inge, that's the first thing I thought of when reading swoolhouses' theme 'childrens learning and the barriers' definately think the poem says it all. Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 These are both word documents but you may be able to use something from them. Good luck! I seem to quote 'play is a child's work' about 100 times a week - it really is my hobbyhorse! I have laminated the 'what children retain and display it around the nursery, put it in the joining pack etc..... what_children_retain.doc play_for_play__s_sake.doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Thanks for those LJW, not seen them before and certainly state what should be the reality of childhood. Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Thank you for sharing those LJW - I'm in the process of gathering quotes to support learning through play and exploration to display in our reception - and they fit the bill nicely. Thanks again Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Thanks from me too LJW, they're great, copied, laminated and displayed by today!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wolfie Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I've got a nice little A4 poster...which I'll try and scan to attach later.....with a child playing and the quote: "What children bring home in their heads is far more important than what they bring home in their hands" - a good one if you're trying to get the message across that process is more important than end product.
