We have tubs full of shells, stones, conkers, pine cones, lolly sticks, buttons, sticks etc, all things that are not really thought of as toys but we’ve begun to use them in various ways. Sometimes we just play, sometimes we are given wee challenges to solve. As the year progresses, we are going to use them to learn some very basic engineering principles which we will build on as we progress through the school. Watch this space later in the year for how we move on.
