Block Play Everywhere!!
Wednesday 16 January 2013
We had block play all over the classroom this afternoon. There was a big group in the primary block area creating a "viewing room".
The block play spilled over onto a table where today there were two builders adding to yesterday's building and tucking little people inside. What's interesting is that they were not the original builders. However, that seems to the classroom culture as the block structures remain for days with different students adding and changing the structures.
Over at the double tables there were three students playing with baby ponies who were building paddocks and homes with square blocks.
Over in the student cubbies, Dane and Rhys decided to build enclosures using boots. This was a first for me, I had never seen that before! See the photos below.

Day One of table block building. |

Note our newest tree block it was donated to the room |

I'm so glad that we took a picture
as it was knocked over by some
preschoolers the next morning.
The Kinders are so awesome that
they never complain, just start
rebuilding once play centes time
begins. So impressive that they
are so accepting of our young
visitors.

So awesome!! Rhys came up with this enclosure on his own just trying different boots. |

Here is Dane's enclosure. I love how
he used the runners on top of the
boots. It was super sturdy and so
creative.

Thank you!
