Space, shape and patterns - using different shaped tools & containers to create imagined design.

Designing - attention to shapes, symmetry, surfaces

Locating - attention to location of self & others, position of sand/water creations, direction of tunnels.

- investigating, exploring natural environment & materials
- inquiring, "what will happen when I add more water?", "how can I make this tunnel bigger?"
- problem-solving, in trial & error process of designing sand sculptures & tunnels

-Designing, drawing a design of a pyramid
-Creating a pyramid - set up large materials/foam blocks in outdoor area for children to climb on & manipulate to design & create large-scale pyramid, encourages imagination, problem-solving, collaboration. 
-Exploring the shape of pyramid - look for similar shapes in environment. 
-Exposure to hieroglyphic writing - invite speculation about what pictures mean, create own hieroglyphics (drawing/painting)
-Investigating writing using natural resources e.g. painting with sand a particular symbol.
-Educator using language/vocabulary to support the characteristics
-opportunities for formal and informal measurement.
-opportunities to work collaboratively & independently to further develop learning dispositions. ]]> 2022-03-21 00:40:58 UTC https://padlet.com/1996giraffe/2s1n3kk14wv1tsmv/wish/2104204980 steml004 https://padlet.com/1996giraffe/2s1n3kk14wv1tsmv/wish/2105012976 -Tunnels
