At the Construction centre we decided to replace the traditional building blocks with boxes of all various shapes, and sizes to see how the children would engage with these materials. We also added some reading materials about shapes.
Initially...
The students explored with the boxes by dumping them on the ground
and then searching for the "right" type of boxes for their creations.
The students then started to see what they could build with these boxes:
They started stacking...
and built a ROCKETSHIP!
We read a story to the class to provoke their thinking...
Using this book and others available to them, students began delving deeper into their design process
Here the students are building the tall building featured in the above book.
