As well as all of our learning that we do within the curriculum, we are still focusing on the play pedagogy in the classroom too. The boys and girls LOVE to spend time in the construction area and this week “cupro blocks” arrived in the construction area and we have loved putting our building skills to use creating many wonderful buildings and structures.

“I started off building the base by making a cuboid because it makes it stronger this way, then I built it up taller by adding a layer each time. I also added a window too” – Skye

“We worked together to build this structure, it got taller and taller, we managed to make it 9 levels tall but we couldn’t go any bigger because we couldn’t reach any higher!!” – Lewis, Ben, Jack and Magnus

“We built a volcano! Ruairi started by putting the thicker blocks on the ground and then Ella started adding to it by adding the longer blocks onto each layer. The red lego is lava coming out of it!” – Ella, Jack and Ruairi

“I worked with Calum to build a hotel. We made a balcony so that you can get air!” – Skye
