Building animal homes

Following on from some of the children's interest in building animal homes in the forest, Miss Lawrence set them a woodwork challenge! Using simple instructions, they were able to work together and piece together a bird box for our outside area.


The children made sure that they had taken the correct safety precautions before starting out on their woodwork project, with Mason ensuring his friends knew that "we have to put on our goggles!". Aron and Kateryna ensured that they chose the correct goggle size to fit them, and Oliver noted that they would "need to work together and hold it whilst we tap the nails in".


The children worked carefully and with great teamwork when approaching each step. Referring to instructions regularly, the group spoke to one another to clarify their thinking and to make sure everyone knew what to do.


Upon completion, the group decided that the bird box would need to be placed in the sensory garden to "make sure the birds would want to fly in". They were so proud of their efforts that they decided to share their project in circle time at the end of the day.
