Cultivating Curiosity  

A large part of our Inquiry Learning here at Runcorn is growing, encouraging and cultivating curiosity.  In classrooms we do this through a range of provocations, question stems and thinking routines.  This gives the students an invitation to wonder, be curious and ask questions. 

“The important thing is not to stop questioning.  Curiosity has its own reason for existing”    – Albert Einstein

Here are some simple but effective ways you may start cultivating curiosity at home:

  • drive away from the city on a clear night and star gaze
  • dissect or pull something apart (a flower, an old telephone, a vegetable)
  • play in a creek or walk along the beach
  • create a famous artist inspired artwork
  • cook a recipe from a place you’ve never visited
  • go on a hike with binoculars and note down what you spot
  • use a magnifying glass to explore the garden
  • act out a book you’re reading together
  • find the extra in the ordinary

Happy wondering.
