Building a stick tower

Working together.

This morning at Forest Fun the children learned how to build a structure using sticks. First, we found a flat area on the ground. Then we collected some sticks and sorted them into long ones and shorter ones. We used the longer sticks to make a square shape on the ground, then to build on top of these to increase the height. We were able to gradually use shorter sticks to create a pyramid shaped tower. The children collected and built enthusiastically, taking turns to lay their sticks and co-operating with each other to work as a team.
