Have you ever asked your child what they do at school only to be told, ‘We played’ or ‘did work’?

If I were to ask Primary 2, right now, what they are doing, they might reply in a similar way- playing, building, making, working. However by the end of their activity they will have designed and planned a construction, worked as a team to build that construction, tested it being mindful of health and safety, fixed any glitches in their design, and developed their original ideas into even more wonderful constructions than even they imagined. That’s before I even mention the leadership, debate and compromise skills they have also exhibited. They might be too tired at the end of the day to tell you all of that and resort to telling you they played but I wanted to show off just how much they have achieved today while working with Mrs McNaught.
