Building Challenge-Catapults

Since the red class is learning all about castles, we discussed what sorts of strategies they must have used in order to defend their castles. We looked at a book with various pictures. The senior kindergartens remember making catapults from last year. We watched a video of what it might look like as well as how to make a simple catapult. We also had a sample of toy catapults (we launched a Pom Pom!) We then set out various materials for them to use. Wow! What amazing engineers we had!
