Words in the Wild is a real-world literacy invitation exploring letters, symbols, language, and meaning-making through movement, play, and observation.
Rather than separating literacy from everyday life, learners are invited to discover that words and symbols exist all around them.
Created by a qualified primary educator, Inner Garden Learning Invitations are philosophy-led learning experiences designed to support literacy, numeracy, creativity, inquiry, and emotional awareness through meaningful everyday moments.
They are thoughtfully designed invitations into a slower, more connected way of experiencing learning.
