Guest Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 Does anyone have any ideas for a buildings topic? I've run out of inspiration X
mundia Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 Hi Lisa, whils we all have a think about your topic, wellcome to the fourm and make yourself at home. Did you have any particular buildings in mind eg homes, castles, etc?
Guest Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 How about incorporating the story of the 'Three Little Pigs'. After reading the story, you could provide the props needed for the children to build the 3 houses. A bale of straw, some planks of sanded wood, and some 'bricks' (could use shoe boxes). Provide selection of 'joining' materials such as string, rope, sellotape, gaffer tape and if you have some in your workshop area, some 'real' tools and nails. For 'cement' flour and glue mixed together is good - provide real trowels if poss. Clip boards, tape measures, pencils, copies of architect plans, Wicks/B&Q catalogues etc. If all this could happen outside - all the better. Good Luck, hope it goes well.
hali Posted January 21, 2007 Posted January 21, 2007 hello and welcome, do you have big building blocks that you can use?
Guest Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 A belated welcome from me too. What would the children like to build? small scale / large scale? Builders yard with 'real' bricks, looking at 'tools' of the trade, Any building sites nearby to visit ( perimiter only maybe) Have fun, let us know what you decide to do. peggy
