Term 3 - Week 1 - ECU Visit

On the first Thursday of Term 3, a group of Edith Cowan University students in the final year of their teaching degree visited our classroom to learn more about Montessori education.

The morning started with Leah giving an informal talk on general Montessori information. The students then split into small groups and tried out selected equipment themselves, guided by the manuals.














After working with the materials for a while, the students explored the classroom.

One student emerged from the practical life area saying he'd just had a profound experience with a child, and recommended other students take a look. Michael (2.5 years) was absorbed in the transfer of beads, and a few students gathered to watch him.

Thanks to Leah for her efforts in coordinating the visit, and Sandy, who looked after the children.
