Before the children continued building their landscape model they brainstormed all the ways they could think of that people, animals, and plants use water.
Their ideas:
People: to drink, to make sandcastles with, to clean with, to swim in, to travel on
Animals: to drink, to live in
Plants: to drink
The children knew that animals, people, and plants all need water to survive.
Everyone had a job adding various elements to the landscape model and when faced with the challenge of how the animals and people would cross the river the children added a bridge, stepping stones and a log.

They've invited the other children to play with the landscape during play times. What a wonderful way for us to see their thinking in action as they play out the ways we use water!
