At the beginning of January, work began on the construction of our new Early Learning and Childcare Centre. It has been fascinating to watch the machinery and workers prepare the site and make progress with the construction process. This has provided a very relevant, meaningful and motivating context for learning. The children and staff have worked hard to create our very own construction site on the decked area. The children have had great fun using wooden blocks, miniature terracotta bricks and cement to make their own models. They have been learning to measure and have also had opportunities to risk assess and use real tools, under the careful supervision of staff. The children have also looked at the architect’s drawings and made their own plans. We look forward to charting progress.
