Last week, we introduced junk modelling to our Foundation students, starting with learning different ways to join materials together. The first join we have learned is called the flange, a simple but effective technique for attaching objects.
Junk modelling offers children rich learning experiences—developing their creativity, problem-solving skills, and fine motor abilities as they manipulate materials. It also encourages imaginative thinking, spatial awareness, and the confidence to experiment with their ideas. Through hands-on exploration, children gain a deeper understanding of how everyday items can be transformed into something new!
