This morning Kairo came and got me excitedly. "Come and look at this" he announced. I turned around and saw this wonderful creation. "Wow" I said, "what a cool city". Kairo laughed and said "it's not a city - it's a maze" and asn I looked more closely I could see it was exactly that. Kairo had carefully placed each block to make a pathway that lined up. He had made "tricks" that ended in pathways that were blocked off and used matchbox cars to test the pathway. Kairo shows a real interest in buildings and structures and has an obvious knack for it.
When children participate in activities like this they are using the key competency "thinking". There is a lot of thinking that is involved when planning out the space, negotiating length and testing theories about position.
Ka pai Kairo - I can't wait to see what you create next!
