Natural Sciences
INVESTIGATIONS
 with Foundation Phase Learners
 A lot of the ideas in this booklet owe their germination to a long collaboration between Alan and Viv Kenyon. We have shared a passion for primary education and primary teacher development for along time. This dates back from the progressive 1960s, when we first started teaching, to the early 1970s together in London. It continued at Lovedale in Alice, and then at Cape College in Fort Beaufort, where colleagues and students helped grow and contextualise many of these ideas. Subsequent work  with teachers and in classrooms has helped refine the practical relevance of this work.
