Beethoven and Building

Today it was all about Beethoven and building!  We began the afternoon by finding a favourite spot in the room, resting our heads andlistening to "Beethoven Lives Upstairs". It was a quiet few minutes, with no noise, other than the narrator and beautiful Beethoven. 

But look out, because when that was done, there was some serious noise! The boys and girls completed a number of Solo-Cup building challenges! They ranged from easy to hard and in the end, we finished with a whole-class challenge. 
It was fun for all, but we quickly determined that uttering the phrase, "Let me take a picture of this" was the death phrase. It seemed like whenever I said those magic words, all of the Solo-Cups had a great fall.
