Libby picked up one of the cars and tried to roll it down the ramp. The car rolled and took a few pushes from Libby to get it all they way down to the bottom of the ramp. Callan and Bryn noticed Libby and her car and too thought they would roll cars down the ramp. This looked like fun so I went to the shed and got out some of our big buses and trucks for the children to use. Well what a frenzy! Everyone wanted to join in and have a turn. Ngakau, Scarlett, Logan, Greer, Bryn, Callan and Libby all had a blast rolling the trucks down the ramp and chasing after them all they way to the bottom of the ramp. It was a great experience for the children to develop and show patience, turn taking and sharing. Logan seemed to be learning about cause and effect as he pushed the cars to make them roll forward and backwards. He was more fascinated when he rolled the car down the ramp and it went faster and faster picking up speed and falling off the side disappearing into the grass. The most fun was learning the difference between fast and slow with our cars. What fun we had and maybe we will try rolling different objects down the ramp tomorrow.
