Budding Young Builders

 
Posted by Picasa

This week the boys have become very engaged with the carpentry. They have been building themselves a house!! Jasper and Elijah have been busy taking all the measurements "40, 20, 18, 63"!! said Jasper as he measured the plank of wood. Eneri has been the chief cutter, cutting the planks to the correct sizes, while Laker has been the constructor, putting the house together. These boys are learning so much about co-operation, team work, maths concepts, cause and effect and problem solving. They are recreating things they have seen in the past and learning about their world! "Children learn strategies for active exploration, thinking, and reasoning" Te Whaariki. Sarah B
