Handle with care...
With the launching of our new IPC unit Buildings/Structures, our unit lesson this morning was a bit of a tricky one. Children found that building a house of cards is not as easy as it sounds! Our assignment, to build a simple card structure together with a partner using a deck of playing cards, proved to be a challenging one. Children made many attempts, and with cooperation and a tad of help, simple constructions slowly evolved out of the piles of playing cards on desks. The most successful efforts didn't always last very long however, as we found that the slightest breeze or a little jolt to the table (often caused by simply getting situated in a pose for the camera), sent our structures tumbling down. Ideas were shared and successful examples copied and we ended the lesson very excited about what else we will be doing in the coming unit.
If you have a deck of cards at home, why not have your child show you how it's done and give it a go!
