This weeks big challenge was all about moving water. Children naturally explore their world through space and shape. They
appear to have a natural ability to investigate objects and their environmental surroundings. This week the children worked together sharing ideas, adjusting ideas when problems arose and transferring acquired knowledge with other resources.
Take a look at the waterways we built to transport water from one water tray to another. Lots of co-operation and critical thinking going on. Active learning in action

"The water's pumping from that one to the other" |
The children used different tubes and gutters to find a way to create a waterway that didn't leak.
As the week went on the two water trays were moved further apart. This meant using construction materials to prop up the tubes and gutters between each container.
Using our knowledge to build channels with the marble run.
