It was Engineer's week this week and Junior Infants really enjoyed exploring this. We talked about the job of the engineer and looked at amazing feats of engineering from around the world. We read the story 'Rapunzel' and tried to come up with lots of ways to help her escape from the tower. The children drew their ideas and then created them using a range of toys and materials. One girl made a pair of magic wings to help Rapunzel escape. Another made a pair of magic glasses. Other ideas included ziplines, walls, slides, stairs, ladders as well as contraptions to stop the witch. I think there are definitely some future engineers in this class!
