A diverse range of general resources selected to help you use your setting as ‘The third teacher’ . Create a setting rich, inspiring and worthy of interaction.
At the world renowned Reggio Emilia Pre-Schools in Northern Italy, practitioners speak of the environment as an active force. They call it 'The Third Teacher!' and see it as an essential support for children’s social, emotional, physical and intellectual development. Your environment should be rich and stimulating, filled with versatile materials and resources that extend children’s understanding and imagination.
We have selected a wonderful range of artefacts and resources that I really feel can enrich any environment, provoke children’s interest and prompt rich interactions that will enhance learning. I haven’t forgotten the importance of sound as an environmental feature and have included music from around the world that will effortlessly introduce children to rhythm while they play.
