Building castles
We had some cardboard boxes in the construction area and decided to use them to create castles. We worked together to plan, design and create our castles. We decided our castles would need turrets, windows, a drawbridge and a flag. We used cutting, writing and creative skills to create and decorate our castles.
Construction
We design and create all sorts of models in the construction area. Recently we have been making enclosures for animals and ourselves!
As we play we use measuring skills.
We work with others and develop our problem solving skills.
We develop our mark making skills as we plan what we are going to construct. 
Roads, runways, routes and ramps
In the construction area we have been working together to develop the area. We used small construction resources to build vehicles and used the large blocks to create roads and ramps. We added a runway for aeroplanes and have created more roads using tape. As we play, we are exploring forces using ramps and gutters to create slopes and we are learning about direction using arrows.
