The Jumping Children’s Education

At JumpingClay it is firmly believed that learning by doing or “experiential learning” reinforces your education. It helps bring students to achieve more and struggling learners to master more complex concepts. Or as we like to call it - LEARN THROUGH PLAY.

You all know the expression “it’s as easy as riding a bike” and it seems that is the skill you never forget. So why do we never forget to ride a bike?
This is a prime example of learning by doing, or “experiential learning”. An experiential learning activity like this is among the most powerful teaching and learning tools available.

Jumping Clay provides you a hands-on learning tool tool through the use of the wonderful clay products. Manipulative’s like these have been utilised for many years in educational environment. Research around the world, at many different levels confirms that using a manipulative as an educational tool, helps increase achievement across the board. Findings suggest that there is a significant increase in the following:

• Verbalising thinking
• Discussing concepts & ideas
• Concentration levels
• Enhanced spatial awareness by use of a 3-Dimensional medium
• Relating real world situations to educational symbolism
• Collaborative working among peers
• Divergent thinking finding many solutions to a single problem
• Creative expression
• Taking ownership of the learning experience
• Gain confidence in their own abilities

The use of JumpingClay as your chosen manipulative, alongside the specially developed educational programmes will also help to:
