He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes;
he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever
Chinese Proverb

At Cap-a-Pie we’re big fans of a little bit of silliness.

We know that thorough planning and preparation is crucial, but what we want to know is - is there any room for spontaneity in your classroom – is there ever the opportunity to seize the moment and to respond positively to children’s ideas in a way that enhances the learning for all?

We believe that The Clown offers a mindset that can allow us to do just that.

The Clown is spontaneous.
The Clown is open to every new experience.
The Clown refuses to listen to conventional wisdom.
The Clown is curious, optimistic, fearless and resourceful.
The Clown is not afraid to question the obvious in order to find new answers.
The Clown takes delight in the freshness, surprise and wonder of every moment.
The Clown has a willingness to go beyond the rules and set out into new territory.

We think that there are no better qualities than these when we’re setting out together on a journey of creative self-discovery?

So, why not get in touch to talk about how to enhance learning through playing the fool in your classroom.
