Exploratory play and inquiry based learning encourages children to learn, develop and grow whilst they have fun. Children are encouraged to explore, investigate and develop ideas and hypothesis. They can test their ideas, and find new ways of building, creating, drawing, thinking etc. The use of open ended resources promote exploratory and investigative play as well as inquiry based learning. Creativity and imagination is developed through new ways of thinking. Often social skilled are built through team work, and language and communication skills improve. Perseverance is developed as children keep exploring and investigating their surroundings. Children will become more confident and develop a stronger sense of identity through play. Play encourages children to learn, develop and grow whilst they have fun. Exploratory play is a wonderful part of STEM and STEAM activities. Care and maintenance for our white boards: Always be sure to use non-permanent, xylene-free, non-toxic, dry erase markers. (We have an excellent range of Teachables whiteboard markers in a variety of colours and thicknesses). We recommend to clean the panel after each lesson with a whiteboard eraser or a dry, soft cloth. Our Teachables Whiteboard Cleaner (TEB0202) is also a great option. Always ensure the ink is dry before wiping off the work to help limit residue being left on the surface. We recommend to wipe clean the whiteboard after each activity and not wait until the end of the day as this ensures for easier cleaning and will limit ink staining. If the panels have not been cleaned after each use there is a possibility that the whiteboard marker may stain. If you find there are marks or residue left on the whiteboard please clean with a moist cloth or with our Teachable Whiteboard Cleaner. We do not recommend to use chemical based cleaners such as bleach as this may affect the surface of the white board. With a little care, these whiteboards will provide an excellent surface to support creative thinking and problem solving.
