NZ Teacher

They wanted to use the wooden strips to stick to the house. We had some sticky dots which the children were able to use to attach the wooden strips to make the dolls house into a jail. It became a collaborative project and something we, the teachers, had not envisioned. The joy of letting the children lead is seeing what they decide to do at any given moment.

One of the boys had been heating the cymbals up on the OHP. He noticed that the metal on the cymbals was different colors. He wondered if it was because of the heat. He decided to put the blue tape over the cymbals to see what would happen. Scientific thinking in action. Other children are around to see what happens as he experiments with the heat from the OHP.
