Tues Nov 21 Structure this week

The children have been building a structure this week .It started out Tuesday and had add on and  some play with it .It  evolved  in  a very elaborate design. I am very proud of the students involved.

 This structure was last week and had to be taken down  after thinking and learning so the children had to decide on a new spot.

 

Started  by Zain this week.

  Each day new pieces were added by him and other students.

 

Thursday  it had evolved to a more  complex design.  All the wooden pieces were added. The children worked together to add a unique balance of pieces. It was set up all week. We had a lot of visitors come an see the design and wonder how it never fell.

 

Thursday and Friday it was used by students as a ramp for the cars. A few small pieces fell in the back .  It is still a wonder how they managed to play with the cars and ramp and get the cars with out creating a downfall of all the blocks. More importantly the tallest pillar in the center was stable all week. If you give the children trust and risk they will figure it out themselves. This is evidence of allowing children time to create and opportunity to save there work for thinking and learning at later date.

Well done building and creating.
