School lets 4yo pupils play with real kitchen knives, hammers and saws

A primary school is letting its four-year-old pupils play with real kitchen knives, hammers and saws - to enhance their "real world experiences". Rockland St Mary Primary School, in Norwich Norfolk is taking on the 'curiosity approach' innovative which involves letting its youngest pupils play with 'real' objects. The school, which teaches pupils between the ages of four and 11, is allowing pupils to use items including knives and china teapots compared to the generic plastic toys.
