Big construction

This week we have been constructing in lots of different ways on a large scale. This has meant that we have had to use lots of different skills.
We have had to plan ahead and work as a team because the ideas were not just in one persons head but they were all of ours.
We had to decide which materials to use and why and we had to talk to our friends to explain our choices and see if they agreed.
We then had to work together to make our models and dens. It was very tricky and it made us stretch up high and use our shoulders and all of our bodies as well as making our fingers stronger by cutting and tying and pegging.
It was such fun. We made Cuthbert the Ostrich from the Wildlife park and a giraffe with a really long neck. It was hard work making Cuthbert stand up and we had to really think about how we were going to make the giraffes long neck.
We even constructed inside dens because it was rainy outside. We used the iPads inside the dens and even had our fruit in the den!
