We joined the building frames together to create a larger house. With large pieces of frost cloth the children nailed the walls and roof to the house.

This created a new space to work with.  It created lots of interest for all the children.





Logan came in with an idea to attach signs to the house.  He decided to be the foreman - "You not allowed to do any of my foreman jobs..."   and went on to tell his workers, "Get to work you lazy link!"  And then corrected himself and giggled to say, "That wasn't a good word."  Logan supported us to find humour - we all laughed!

"Let's put it that way up, that's the right way up!" Alex stated.  

 Logan and Alex showed their skills to work together/ mahi tahi and drew upon their knowledge of letters and words to position the sign.

Logan continued to lead the play and stated, "We are building a hunting house to protect it from the animals!"
The children began to bring pipes to the house with ideas of plumbing and we encouraged them to come back tomorrow and follow their thinking.
