One fine and sunny winter's day, the ELC children found some blocks, hard hats and tools....Immediately the hats were put on heads, tool belts were worn around the waists and tools at the ready.
Oliver K set down four blocks together and exclaimed "Let's build". Roshan and Blake were quick to join in and before we knew it, the blocks were stacked high and long.
Children from Chapple, Mead, Cooper and Edgerley all worked together, sharing ideas, measuring blocks, adding cement (sand) and hammering.
"We need to make it higher" called out Roshan.
"Yes, let's do it" replied Dougal.
Zach T added 'more blocks, more blocks'. "I'm hammering the blocks said Joshua N.
Jack J took a measuring tape and exclaimed 'it's 3 long'.
Blake looked on and thought for awhile before beaming a huge smile - he was obviously very proud of the teamwork by the boys. The adults agreed - look at the finished creation!
Oliver K called to his hard working mates - "look it's a castle".
We will leave this experience out for the children to further explore and extend their interest in this experience.
