We had amazing fun this afternoon! We worked collaboratively to design and build towers.
We used marshmallows and spaghetti!
I heard children using some super vocabulary, including ‘gravity’ and ‘diagonal’.
Well done, everyone!

Today there was superb teamwork happening in our Mud Kitchen, it was time for a good clean up.  We got busy with lots of brushes and mops and gave everything a good clean.

We worked so well together and I am sure you will agree we have done a fantastic job.
