We took inspiration from the temples visited by Hindu's as part of their Diwali celebrations. We looked at the different shapes, colours and sizes. The children then looked at all of the available resources and independently chose what they would like to use and how they would like to use it. They were encouraged to do lots of talking to their friends as they were working in teams - 'What shall we do next...Do you like this...I think...' Great team work and buildings!
