Construction Area

 

The construction area was buzzing, especially on Friday. The children have begun to challenge themselves by adding more and more to the train tracks. They decided to use the little blocks ( a very generous donation) to create tunnels, cities, huge towers for the trains to go through. I was taking pictures like crazy on Friday and could not keep up with the children. Other children wanted to enter the area and I heard some of the children (SK's) saying,"well there are only 4 but if you work as a team and are not bossy (but have a kind heart) then you can come in". Another child stated, "remember we have to listen to each other and look at each other when we are speaking".

It is wonderful to hear evidence of the children taking about some of the lifeskills they have heard and independently implementing these into their play situations. Evidence like this shows concrete learning is truly taking place in the kindergarten classroom!

 

On Friday there were nine children in the centre and only cooperative behaviour and communication was taking place. They were very disappointed to tidy up at the end of the day!
