Small World Being Used Alongside
Construction
Skegness Infant School, Skegness |
Indoor construction should be:
- Easily accessible by the children with a good range of
different construction materials, including natural and/or
reclaimed materials, where possible
- Clearly labelled and easy to organise so that the children can
choose freely, and help to put the resources away
- In a space where children can build without
restriction
- Near mark-making opportunities so that children can draw/write
about their creations
- Filled with books linked to the theme e.g. books about houses
to be placed in the construction area if the topic is about
Ourselves or houses
- Regularly enhanced to incorporate the theme/topic and the
children’s interests
- Providing opportunities for the children to display/discuss
their finished models.
