Kinder Bears visit the Br Peter Dezani Design Centre
Following on from learning experiences of building and constructing, Kinder Bears were offered opportunities to experiment with the use of hammers and sandpaper in the classroom to help develop their coordination and motor skills.
To encourage further learning and new skills, Kinder Bears were invited up to the woodwork room by Mr Mangione.
Opportunities encourage children to use processes such as exploration, collaboration and problem-solving across all aspects of curriculum. This was a wonderful opportunity to develop our students understanding of community and to help develop dispositions such as curiosity, persistence and creativity.

Under the guidance of staff and some wonderful senior students, Kinder Bears enjoyed hammering nails into wood, as well as creating a tapestry of their first initial with wool.
