This chapter will define what is meant by a rotational schema and explain how it is seen in practice. It will explore how loose parts both indoors and outdoors, can nurture a child’s dynamic rotational schema. This chapter will tell the story of a rotational schema in practice using annotated photographs, links to theory, and how a rotational schema can support child development in early years curricula. It will discuss supportive language adults can use to nourish a rotational schema and how to plan activities that can be used to generate knowledge and understanding by supporting a rotational schema. There will be a case study, and reflective questions included to allow the reader to consider their understanding of a rotational schema and how it links to pedagogy. All the children’s names have been changed for anonymity.
