Building with blocks
WHAT ARE WE LEARNING? Students get to practise and develop their problem solving skills. As towers fall, new solutions are needed. Balance and eye-hand coordination improves. Their oral language and social skills are developing as they learn to share and cooperate with each other. Descriptive and comparative language is modelled and early mathematical concepts are understood; measurement, probability and geometry are explored in a natural and fun way.
