Today we had a discussion how we could ensure our towers did not fall down.
“Don’t move from it”
”cellotape”
“Glue”
What do you think builders use to keep bricks together.
“Cement”
We deceived to make our own cement so we got a bowl and added our two ingredients sand and shaving foam. We used our gross motor skills to stir and combine them together.
”it looks crunchy”
”it looks sticky”
”it looks like real cement”
We then began making our creations using a variety of tools to spread the cement on the blocks. The children used their fine motor skills and hand and eye coordinating to help secure the blocks together. The children had great imaginations and communication skills sharing their thoughts, ideas and creations.The children used mathematical language.while building their structures
“Mine is so high”
“ it have lots of bricks
“mine is big an getting bigger and bigger”
”mine is going to be very tall”
” I have made a castle”
“Look at my bridge, the troll lives under it”
” I have made a big tower”
” I have made a big house”
