Into the Classroom | The World of 'Building and Construction'
The children used different material to build an array of structures like buildings, towers, bridges and even little cities using a range of material like blocks, rocks, recycled boxes, toilet paper rolls etc.
Through incorporating aspects of STEAM into play, children can be encouraged to:
-
Show curiosity and a 'can do' attitude
-
Seek challenges and enjoy meeting challenges
-
Think of ideas and find new ways of doing things
-
Solve problems
-
Make links, predictions, estimates and hypothesize
-
Notice patterns
-
Test their ideas
-
Plan and make decisions about how to approach a task
-
Be able to change strategy and review their approach
-
Communicate, collaborate and make compromises
All the above are aspects of the Early Years Foundation Stage Characteristics of Effective Learning. STEAM, therefore, goes hand in hand with the values of the early years. STEAM is about merging these important subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) into one. It is therefore a holistic approach, and this is exactly what learning in the Nest is about: intertwining areas of learning.
