This Practical Activities Area provides a space for individual and small groups participating in disciplinary and interdisciplinary learning activities that can require a wet area and large bench space. The area also provides a space for learning support activities. The area is intended for explore, investigate, create, fabricate and construct activities but the area can be used for activities that include discussion, reading or storytelling; explicit teaching and demonstrations; and individual and small group research and reflective activities.
FURTHER OPPORTUNITIES
Access to an outside learning area would allow some flexibility in learning activity options and group planning.
LEARNING IMPLICATIONS
Given the size of the room and proximity to the Home Base consideration will need to be given to acoustic and spatial implications depending on the number of groups and the types of learning activities planned. Noise interference from the adjacent Home Base can also be a factor if learning processes with different acoustic requirements are operated at the same time. Rehearse and perform activities are not generally supported by this room design.
Explore ideas, share and develop opinions, debate and decide.
Most criteria regarding spatial layout, fit-out, visibility and acoustics can be met. Some consideration will need to be given to determine whether constraints on ease of use, group size or materials will compromise the learning outcomes.
