The Reception children have been busy this week in the wood work area and have enjoyed the additional station which has provided them with colouring pens, felt tips and crayons for the children to decorate their models. It has been a hit!
Woodwork provides amazing opportunities for our children’s learning and development. The children have been absorbed for extended periods of time creating their models. This encourages creative thinking, math skills, scientific investigation, problem-solving skills as well as developing physical development and coordination.

The children initially completed adult-led workshops to learn how to safely use the tools and materials.Through the use of working with real tools, the children are given responsibility and are able to accomplish tasks which can initially be challenging and gain new skills. The children are now creating their own models which they are extremely proud of.
