BE – Soapbox race

kids made in groups a plan of their soapbox
they made a list of material they needed
they presented it to other groups and listened to their advice
they made improvements
they collected the materials and start making the soapbox
a lot of trail and error, a lot of reflection and changing materials or plans
when soapbox was ready to roll they tried it on the steep hill
they reflect again and made improvements
in the whole progress we thought of how we could make it save to do risky play (placing soft materials against the walls..)
