For a while now, Sarah has had a strong interest in making huts and tents within the KIDSPACE environment and yesterday was no different. After gathering large sheets and pieces of material she set to work constructing her hideaway. After a little help from me, Sarah now had the perfect place to relax and read some books with Ruby who decided to join her in this quiet time. I will be interested in seeing whether Sarah will continue to make these huts as it may well be that she using a learning mechanism (schema) to make sense of her world. Sarah is developing strategies for actively exploring and making sense of the world by using her body, including active exploration with all her senses, and the use of tools, materials, and equipment to extend her skills.

Today I put a learning story in Sarah's profile which talked about her asking me to build her a hut. As soon as Sarah saw this story, she decided she wanted to make a hut with me again. Caelyn, Ruby and Harry all joined in. Harry, Sarah and I got into the hut and we read the story called, "where the wild things are". Sarah started to make noises and pretend there was a monster, Harry joined in to and acted all scared!!

Hi
I'm a new visitor to your blog.
Great blog post! It's great to see how when the children revisit the story they want to recreate AND add extra creativity to it!
