The concrete truck pulled up next door and a quick scramble to the fence occurred.
So off we went to see concrete making in action!
The grinding of the machine produced the sludgy concrete and poured it onto the ground. We watched with wonderment as the men bent their backs to smooth the shiny pad.
Will asked, "When can we make concrete?"
We have had lots of water in the sandpit and made sand concrete and now we have learnt that we need - "sand, water, and cement"
With great fortune the Village Landscape let us use their place to make our own concrete in their wheelbarrow and wheeled it back to Kindergarten!
Will said, "We can use them in the sandpit!"
Can't wait to see the creative ways the concrete blocks are employed in the future (I think Liz has an idea of using them in the nature garden OTB).
Fantastic emergent curriculum activity, wonderful to get out in the community and what a great supportive community it is, we are fortunate to have so much happening so close to the Kindergarten.
