Using complexity thinking can foster a games of chase curriculum that is both structured and flexible. Using a flexible content framework Using a decision-making framework that actively encourages on-going interactions among people, ideas and activities What did I learn as a teacher?

As a way of thinking and acting, complexity thinking has helped me to think creatively and create a rich tapestry of activities and learning for children and myself be mindful of how I can benefit the children I work with in different ways think continually about the relationships between my teaching, children’s learning and the activities we were engaged in Final reflections
