The children were divided into 5 groups and given time to think about different ways of dismantling things – in particular some of the fruit and vegetables Ann had requested me to get. The ideas being discussed and given back to Ann were fantastic – peeling, squashing, twisting, cutting with scissors, rolling. The talk was brilliant! When it came to the writing down of ideas however, I think they were so excited about the prospect of dismantling that their planning went out the window. The opportunity to smash, squash and stand on things simply became too much….. I guess it’s just human nature….
