It's not real 'fixing' but at least it's real tools.  The plastic tools were just not as appealing as these real, metal tools.  There was a Phillips screwdriver, a flat head as well as a wrench (spanner).  The tools provided opportunities for the children to develop their fine motor skills. Success was felt when a screw was taken out. "I did it!"

To help keep "THE BLOCK HOUSE" safe we moved the shelf away from the wall to the other side of the carpet providing a new, and safer, space for the house to be built. The letters: THE BLOCK HOUSE were written on A4 paper and attached to the bulletin board. Some of the children were interested in the letters and matching them with the names of the children in the class. The letter "A" had to be added because there are 5 children who begin with the letter A in our classroom this year.
