Description
Support your KS1 curriculum with the Building & Construction KS1 Enrichment Collection, a ready-made collection carefully curated by Early Excellence specialists to enrich your outdoor environment and provide practical opportunities in Design & Technology and Mathematics. This durable, hard-wearing collection has been designed to withstand busy outdoor learning environments while offering engaging resources to develop measuring, investigating, and problem-solving skills.
The enrichment collection, designed to complement the Building & Construction Resource Collection 3-7yrs, includes tape measures, metre rulers, spirit levels, trundle wheels, clipboards, whiteboards and pens, enabling children to explore length, height, angles, and balance in practical, real-world contexts. Children can measure and compare distances, assess the stability of constructed structures, explore angles and record their findings using labelled diagrams, numbers or words. These activities link directly to the KS1 National Curriculum, supporting Mathematics through measurement and geometry, and Design & Technology through planning, adjusting, and evaluating structures.
Children can work independently or with others to plan and create their own structures, developing reasoning and problem-solving skills as they test and refine their ideas. The open-ended resources promote curiosity and careful observation, inspiring thoughtful evaluation and deeper understanding. To further enrich your outdoor learning environment, pair with the Exploring Nature KS1 Enrichment Collection or the Investigating Weather & Seasons KS1 Enrichment Collection.
Explore the full range of Outdoor Construction Area resources to enhance your KS1 outdoor classroom, creating an enticing and engaging environment for children to learn and thrive within.
