Civil Engineers

In Reception class this week, Mel and Caitlin came in to talk about how to be a ‘Civil Engineer’.  We made our own designs for an island.  Next week, we will create a model of our designs.  The children had lots of amazing ideas for a fun island to visit including a rainbow island, a flower island and a train island.  Mikaeel even had a jet-ski to leave his island for supplies.
