This week in the construction area we have been focusing on hammering and screwdriving using the nails and screws and some fruit. The children enforced schematic play in the rotations of the screwdriving in and out. The children were learning about the different shapes to match the screws in order for the screwdriver to work whether it’s a star or a straight line. The children incorporated their own input into this activity ‘making faces’ in the apples. Every time before we use these tools we risk assess talking about the importance of goggles to protect our eyes , keeping our fingers out of the way and not to consume the apples!The children seem to really enjoy construction play working their fine motor skills using real life tools!
