Running with the idea of building a vehicle, the kids showed us a new side to their creativity on a recent professional day. After a quick round of playing games, and talking about inclusion versus exclusion,

we gave them a pile of cardboard, and the rest of the morning to create their masterpieces in small groups. They all managed to impress with the creativity of their creations, their understanding and application of inclusion, and the level of dedication and engagement to the project. 

We saw everything from a steering wheel that eventually turned a mat into a vehicle, to a spaceship with flames coming out of stacks on the roof.

The day went quickly, and was fun for both the leaders and kids.

Toby commented “ The best part of the day was building the cars, and the most challenging part was deciding how the car was going to be built because me and my sister never agree… but it ended up to be fair.”

Emilia commented on the inclusion games we played at the beginning “It was good to talk about inclusion because I knew about it already, but some things were new (to me). My favourite part of the day was baking berry crumble for everyone.”

Until next time,
