Our Lego Club children completed their final Christmas build today! With more than 50 different steps to build this model, it took time, effort, patience and a lot of team work. The children rotated roles each week and were very proud of their achievement.

As we prepare to welcome new members to the club in the New Year, the children will be taking on a brand new role as ‘Master Builders’. This will see them teach some of their peers the skills required to be a Lego Engineer, Supplier and Builder. And they are more than ready for the next challenge!

The fun continues at Lego Club with our Christmas builds. Today saw the children working collaboratively to build Santa, who was looking particularly trim, and one of his elves!

We also took some time today to discuss what we liked about Lego Club and reflect on which roles we enjoyed most.

The Christmas builds at Lego Club are up and running! Our members had to work particularly well together last week to co-construct a reindeer and some holly WITHOUT instructions! They used their observation skills and knowledge of the bricks when looking at the model photograph and jointly built different sections of the reindeer. They guided each other, gave feedback and even evaluated the build before making improvements. It was a great team effort!

Our Lego Club members felt a great sense of achievement last week as they completed another model. This model was built over a couple of weeks where the children took turns in each of the roles and built up enough Lego points to earn some free play! We are looking forward to start building some Christmas themed models next.

Everyone enjoyed their 1st session back at Lego Club. They worked incredibly well in their roles as Engineer, Supplier and Builder to finally complete the model moped. They are working on becoming experts in the 3 roles, in order to train other children who will get an invitation to join Lego Club in the New Year!

Watch this space to see their progress.
