As a part of our ongoing interest in exploring construction, the children used collage materials to create their own houses. We were wondering what our houses are made of. What shape is the roof? Why are bricks better to use than straw? We talked about the different building materials used in building our houses, as we used collage materials in creating our own houses. This is a fascinating way for children to explore the world around them to understand more about structures and building materials. Purposeful questioning helps children to come up with their own ideas, build on their understanding, and make more sense of their surroundings. They are building on vocabulary, maths knowledge, and language skills and making connections to their prior knowledge and experiences.
