Yusuf - Exploring Material

World
Learning Priority: Exploration, develop
working theories for making sense of the
material world and problem solving

It was a sunny day. The teachers were busy

tidying up the shed. There were lots of outdoor
equipment that weren’t being used. So, we
decided to sort them out.

Yusuf, you have discovered one of the

convertible bike that we bought out. You were
curious of what the button can do. You looked at
every inch of the bike trying to figure out what it
can do. You tried pushing the button but nothing
happened.

I can hear you mumbling some words while you

trying to work it out. “How does this work?”. You
tried pushing the button again while lifting up the
seat. “It’s a scooter”, as you were amazed with
what it can do. You spend quite a long time trying
to figure out what it can do and Masha Allah I was
amazed at how you were so patient and was able
to develop a working theory to make sense of the
material world. It was also nice to hear you talking
about your curiosity and problem solving skills.
