...Kian's Pond...


This week Kian enjoyed making a pond in the sandpit. He dug a hole with Jessie which they lined with a tarpaulin. They covered the edges with sand and then filled it with water. Kian found some ducks and boats to put into his pond. This was such a great experience for Kian, He was able to use his knowledge of real ponds and what might be found in them. Recreating things from a child's own experiences is such a great way for them to feel a sense of belonging and to share their knowledge of the world with others.

Cool pond Kian! I hope you saved some bread from your lunch to feed to the ducks.
