Tamara collected driftwood from Marine Parade over the weekend and we used this today to transport around, dig and build with. Jasper, Charlie, Elijah, Eneri, and Laker built dinosaur castles, towers and homes in the sandpit. They built the driftwood structures first then added the plastic dinosaurs last. Lots of team work went on with Charlie holding Eneri's piece of driftwood at the top so Eneri could build it in with sand to stand up at the bottom, also Jasper and Laker carried the basket of dinosaurs outside to the sandpit together.
They all demonstrated confidence, problem-solving, co-operation and work skills together.
