| Through a range of play & activities, I can/am able to | Through a range of play & activities, I can/am able to | Through a range of play & activities, I can/am able to |
| Explore 3 dimensional materials by stacking, linking & joining them together in simple ways e.g. junk modelling, outdoor constructions, block play. | Make models & 3 dimensional products using an increasing range of materials & tools. | Demonstrate awareness of the properties & suitability of materials when designing & constructing a range of models using different materials e.g. beginning to recognise when qualities such as rigidity, strength or flexibility are required for specific purposes. |
| With support, use simple tools to help me construct & join models & products e.g. glue sticks & brushes, cutting tools, staplers, etc. | Demonstrate increasingly controlled gross & fine motor skills when creating models & 3 dimensional products. | Draw, say or show how I plan to make models for specific purposes or to solve specific problems. |
| With support, share my thinking about how to build things or solve 3 dimensional problems. | With support, begin to plan for constructions or 3 dimensional solutions to problems
With support, begin to comment on the effectiveness of construction methods, tools & materials chosen (by me & others). |
Use a growing range of tools & techniques with increasing gross & fine motor skill & control e.g. more accurate cutting with scissors, capacity to fold & form paper/card into cylinders, able to place glue appropriately when joining paper or fabric. |
