Carpentry construction



Joshua must be following in his dads footprints, as a builder! This morning, I saw Joshua take a real interest in the carpentry area. This hasn't been the first time though. This seems to be an on-going interest of Joshua's, along with construction. Joshua expressed to me that he wanted to make an aeroplane. Joshua had already put two bits of wood togother (as wings of the aeroplane) but needed some assistance with hammering the nail in. He couldn't balance the wood, the nail and get the hammer steady, all at the same time. So I held the wood for Josh as he held the nail and hammered it. The nail went through the first piece and a little bit into the piece below it. Joshua was already on his way to creating his aeroplane. He told me that he had other pieces he needed to find as well. Joshua is really good at extending his own learning on things of real interest to him, and that is when I see him really focused on projects etc,
