After our Mearns Masters Campaigners block where we learned lots about recycling, we decided to think about what we could make with a cardboard box for our Designers block.

 

We had lots of great ideas but decided we all really liked the sound of a castle!

We researched some design ideas…

and created our own designs!

We then used our designs to start planning using the recycled materials we had all collected!

We really enjoyed testing out different ways of using the cardboard….

we then worked together in small groups to create our large class castle!

We have loved this block of Mearns Masters and designing our very own castle to enjoy in our role play area! This has inspired us to learn even more about castles and fairytales and ask lots of fantastic learning questions!
