28、阶层)made no real difference in how the boys turned out.Working at any age is important.Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility,independence,confidence and competence-the basis(基础)of emotional health.They also help him understand that people must work with others towards common goals.

34、and his team help the children to think big and create plans for new things they want to build.Children have made fantastic things since the school started.They have built a roller coaster.They have made a rope bridge from plastic shopping bags.They have made tree houses,wooden motorbikes and boats.

35、At Tinkering School,children get all kinds of materials like wood,metal,plastic,nails and ropes.They get lots of real tools too,such as knives,hammers,screwdrivers and power drills.Some children have cut themselves when 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 5 using a knife,or hurt their fingers when using a hammer.Tinkerin
