An effective learning environment is not just the physical spaces, it is the totality of the interactions, experiences and spaces that our learners are provided with.
“To support cognitive development the learning environment should be rich in opportunities for children to engage with concepts and foster skills for learning, such as reasoning, creativity and problem solving. The choice of experiences on offer should reflect an environment of open-ended possibilities in which children can feel intrinsically motivated to explore and investigate through play – including taking calculated risks and learning from mistakes.” (Realising the Ambition 2020, pg 47)
