This week I challenged the children to build a ramp for a toy car- we discussed some success criteria and the children decided that a longer ramp would be better. Once again there were several different approaches but this week they were all more practical and the children had a much better understanding of what would and wouldn’t be possible. In the end they said they had learned to solve problems and be resilient – many of the groups had to try new ideas when the first one didn’t work. This week I allowed the children to work with whoever they wanted because I am trying to select children to accompany me to a STEM event. Behaviour wasn’t as good which helped me appreciate just how worthwhile it is to choose the groups myself.
