The Palavas-les-fruits surveys

Each episode is a case to solve: stolen socks, a missing stuffed animal. Your child gathers clues with Agatha, and then comes the moment when she asks for their opinion: "So, what do you think happened?". It's up to them to reason from what they have found, and announce their conclusion.

Agatha has the memory of a kiwi: she’s your child remembering for two. The name of the person to help, the directions to Grumpy Onion’s house, the list of decorations for the sandcastle competition. This short-term memory, which holds onto a few pieces of information for the duration of a task, is an essential ingredient in all learning.

Finding the Bout'chou cuddly toy in Nawelle's house, sorting the marbles and the chocolates in the candy store: it's all about listening. Each time, other sounds sound very similar to the one you're looking for, and your child must not pay attention to them. That's the whole point of attentional control: ignoring distractions to focus only on what matters.

To unmask the school’s mysterious artist, clues must be found. Your child needs to identify the odd one out from a list of objects. To do this, they must use their working memory and reasoning skills to remember all the items, find the commonalities, and identify the one that remains. Finally, they learn to verbalize their reasoning to explain their choice.
