Building

  I have recently had an operation and been stuck in bed, fortunately for me the preschool is not that far away and thanks to technology I have been able to watch the wonderful learning unfolding in my absence. What a great idea it was to build a window! Thank you Megan for being so creative and supporting the children's interest in building.

  

Here we see Asher ,Malu, Mak, Seth and Urakai using all their hammering skills and engineering to add new pieces to their window. Below Asher and Malu work together with one holding the wood while the other hammers in the nail

  

For children to work together so collaboratively they must poses traits like; respect and empathy, they must be able to communicate clearly and share a common goal. This window making business is a big deal for 4 year olds and should be viewed as such an achievement.

  

Hmmmm seems the extra piece did not quite suit this window. Asher examines the finished product. Experimentation, problem solving and creative thinking are all skills that the children clearly used to build this window.

                     

Now it's time to paint the window and what better way than all together rainbow style...

                       


                       

Later it seems a seat was constructed.... 

                       

The seat must of looked comfy. There must be some kind of satisfaction sitting on something you made yourself.

  

It was too crowded over there, time to move the seat to a more private location. Asher and Conan carefully carry their seat along the barefoot path.

Wow would you look at the seat now. What a busy building day
