This unit gives children opportunities to develop their understanding of structures. Observation of different types of building gives children experience and information to draw on when developing their own ideas. They develop and model their ideas by creating static models from sheet and reclaimed materials and using construction kits. They gain a basic understanding about structures and how these can be made stronger and more stable.
This unit could be adapted by focusing on different types of building or by giving children an opportunity to design and make other static models eg containers.
Unit 1B 'Playgrounds' is an appropriate alternative to this unit.
