This week for Learning Through Play, me, Ella, Alice and Indie went to Junky Monkey. Junky Monkey is a place where you deconstruct and then reconstruct
to make something new. The last time I went to Junky Monkey, I was doing more of the deconstructing than the reconstructing, so this time I thought that I would focus more on creating things.
First we looked in the box with all of the toys and decided on some pieces for us to use.
Based on the toys we had chosen, we decided to make a playground/obstacle course. We chose a table to work at and spread out our building materials. We had
lots of great ideas but decided on the best one.
Once we completely decided on an idea, we started building! First we made a spinny thing that you sit on and it spins. We used a bolt, nuts, washers and piled them up until it was at the right height. Then we made a trampoline using a plastic cup,
a net and a hair tie. Then I had the idea of making a slide going into a pool, so we
leaned a plastic track on the trampoline and made a pool using the hole in the table.
After that we pretty much just assembled our playground and Koka Ngaire filmed
a little person playing on the playground. Would you like to play on it?
