Exploring Our Construction Books
Keith and Caleb have shown such an interest within construction, cars and trucks over
the past few weeks, today they were very excited to see and explore our new con-
struction area. Firstly exploring the safety hats and vests, then all the different sized
trucks. Lastly they explored our new construction books.
Taking a seat and choosing a book the boys got comfortable reading, their friends soon
followed coming over to explore the books too.
What can you see? Miss Sharnee asked the children.
“Its Thomas Sharnee!” Said Keith as he pointed to the train.
“”Truck” Said Tobias and Caleb.
The Elephants explored and investigated each illustration as they turned page by page
verbally communicating what they could see and recognize. Keith then requested for
Miss Sharnee to read a book to him and Alexis.
Reading and exploring books was a great way to spark the Elephants imaginations and
stimulate curiosity. While also helping to develop the ability to focus, concentrate,
build on their social and communication skills.
Stop Sign Collage
This morning to extend on our construction theme Miss Tenneile organized
to do a stop sign collage. During this experience the children were able to use
the red glue and then add some red materials of their choice the stop sign.
First up was Evelyn and Cienna, Evelyn showed great concentration as she
used her right hand and held the paint brush in a palmer grip, when Evelyn
was happy with where she had placed the paint she then selected some of
the red materials. While Cienna was doing her collage she confidently select-
ed the paint brush with her left hand an held the paint brush with a palmer
grip but also a little bit of a pincer grip also. After Cienna and Evelyn had fin-
ished doing their collage Alexis and Meghan came over to the table to have a
turn of creating the stop sign. Alexis was happy to paint the stop sign red, as
Alexis was painting the sign she went over each letter very carefully and
tried her hardest to keep the paint in the lines. Meghan showed great confi-
dence as she painted the stop sign and then moved on to selecting some red
materials to place on her collage. Soon it was Harlow and Tobias turn they
were both happy to take their time and slowly create their stop signs. Har-
low was happy with just painting her stop sign red, while Tobias showed
great interest in adding the red materials to his creation.
Building With The Magnets
After we had finished our inside activities Miss Tenneile
brought down to the room some of the large magnet shapes.
When Miss Tenneile placed them onto the table Evelyn, Har-
low, Keith and Caleb all came over to the table to see what
Miss Tenneile had set up. Miss Tenneile then mentioned to
the Elephants that we could do some construction with the
magnets. Evelyn could not wait to started building she gath-
ered all the red squares and started to stack them on top of
each other, Miss Tayla soon asked Evelyn what she was mak-
ing Evelyn replied “I’m making a tower”. Keith and Caleb both
showed great interest in exploring the magnets, Keith start-
ed to place the squares around the outside of another
square. Harlow, Meghan and Tobias all showed great interest
in exploring the magnets and building a variety of different
things with the magnets.
Washing our cars
In the spirit of our construction themed activities, we decided to
incorporate a little water play with a carwash. Putting together
two of the elephants favourite things made for a fun experience.
Miss Sharnee set up the big black tough tray outside with some
water, bubble bath and lots of cars. The children were able to drive
their cars through the water and cover them in soap.
“Broom Broom” Tobias said as he drove his car around in big cir-
cles. Meghan and Harlow flipped theirs upside down, covering the
top in bubbles. Evelyn, Keith and Caleb scooped water up with
their hands and poured it over their cars to cover them with
soapy water. The elephants then began rubbing their hands to-
gether as if they were washing them, showing that they could
identify the link between washing their hands and washing the
cars.
The elephants had such an exciting time today while washing
their cars, we plan to build on this with a truck wash during the
rest of the week.
