Construction time


Recently KIDSPACE purchased some interlocking building blocks. The children have eagerly been waiting to build with the blocks but these had to be oiled first and storage arranged. Finally, today is the day. "Yay" Donnagh said when he arrived and found this out. Donnagh, Rionagh, Taneesha and Cian promptly set about creating with the blocks. As other children arrived at the centre they became interested and were quick to join in. What a team effort. It was great to observe the children working together and using social skills such as turn-taking, sharing and co-operation. The children are also exploring maths concepts such as big, small, tall, wide, long and counting as well as developing cognitive skills such as problem-solving.
