The children were discussing dens and how to build them. They had lots of ideas about what they could do inside their own den. The children had a look around the room at what they could use to make a den and how they could make it cosy. They decided that blocks would make the best den, but they thought they should research it a little first, before planning it out.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nUsing digital technology, the children started looking at different types of dens. After their initial research, the children decided they should draw a plan of what they wanted their den to be like.

\"\"<\/a>
\n\u201c I want my den to have a roof, so we don\u2019t get wet\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201c I think that wall is tall enough now\u201d
\n\u201cWe need the cardboard tube to keep the roof up high\u201d
\n \"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\u201c We need to be careful not to knock the walls down when we are inside\u201d<\/p>\n

When their den was finished the children made it a home from home by adding comfy cushions and a table, they then invited some special guests to join them for afternoon tea complete with cakes and sandwiches, cheese of course!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
