Primary 1 had a special delivery today of some new resources!<\/p>\n

First of all, they had a box of giant jenga to use – they decided to build the Eiffel Tower!<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the tower kept falling down when it got too high, so they had to problem solve and find a way of making it more steady.<\/p>\n

“I wonder if we could tie some bricks together – that would make them stop falling over”<\/p>\n

“I’m going to use these metal hooks to join the bricks together”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After a few tries, the St. David’s Eiffel Tower was complete!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“The blue, green and yellow bricks are heavier than the red ones”<\/p>\n

How do you know?<\/p>\n

“I just had one in each hand and I could feel the difference”<\/p>\n

How could we know for sure?<\/p>\n

“We could use scales to weigh them”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The day got even more exciting when the courier came with a delivery…of new wooden blocks! After carefully unpacking them all, everyone was excited to try them out and see what they could build.<\/p>\n

“We’re building a house for the dragonfly”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>“I have a crown, I’m the king!”<\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“I can see through this one, it’s like a tunnel”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“We made a car but it has flat tyres. It even has a steering wheel”<\/p>\n

“It’s a two-seater car”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“This tower is bigger than me!”<\/p>\n

Is it bigger than Miss Munro?<\/p>\n

“No, we only need one more and then it will be bigger than you!”<\/p>\n

“We’ll put the pointy one on top because we don’t need any more, and nothing will balance on top of the point”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Problem solving, teamwork, measuring, comparing, imaginative play, story-telling, fine motor skills, shape, designing, editing, weighing, balancing…who says we just play all day?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
