I’m always amazed at how creative students can be. They can use a variety of materials to build all kinds of things and then use their imagination to bring them to life.
Free play is an important time for students to flex their creative muscles and this in turn has benefits for their cognitive and social abilities.
Today, while playing, the Kinder 2 students built a “tree” using their names and then tried to hang items that belonged to each other from the “branches”. Students were learning about both themselves and each other but in a way that was student driven.
