This week the children developed their creative thinking skills by designing, making and evaluating a piece of playground equipment. We began our investigation by sharing our experiences and perspectives about what makes a good playground (thank you for sending in photos of your child at the park- this enhanced our learning as the children made direct connections between concrete experiences and learning in school.)
The design process….
Once made, the children evaluated their design: thinking about what went well and what they might improve next time.
If you have some recycling materials at home, your child may enjoy re making their design at home. Perhaps they can challenge themselves to adapt their design and make it even better!
