Building in Kindergarten

 

The construction area of the Kindergarten room is always very busy. Both boys and girls enjoy working at this particular centre. The construction area (block area) assists to develop many of the student's social abilities because they learn to work as a team, they learn to listen to each other's design ideas, suggestions, it builds on their self-confidence, and they take what they know about the real world and implement it into their play situations.

I think we may have some future engineers or architects by looking at some of these designs and creations. This is a castle hotel in the background and you will notice there is a tunnel and roadway leading up to the castle hotel.

 

I placed a picture of Meadowvale School up on the rad, along with other buildings and bridges. The students took the photo of Meadowvale School and designed their building to look like it. They made the sign for the school and even included the parking lot and walkway up to the school. They explained there is no roof because they did not have enough of the longer blocks. More blocks will be ordered for the students to use next year.
