Our very loooonnnng train track

Mana, Donnagh, ,Cian and Jack had been very busy boys. I had been inside and observing the boys at play. They were connecting up all the train tracks, starting from the beds, going right along the wall, behind the couch then around and in front of the couch. The boys spent a very sustained period of time working together, and taking turns to connect the tracks together. At times other children would try and pull the track apart Mana and Jack in particular, were very good at using their words, pleading them to stop and saying, "Your breaking our track". Jack and Cian then spent time putting all the train carriages together, making a long line then putting the trains through the bridge. Through this experience the boys are learning to communicate their ideas together, taking on others peoples point of view and having lots of fun while they learn and play.
