On Thursdays during term 2, Years 3 and 4 have the opportunity to come and join in construction club, which has been dubbed “Lunch Time Lego Masters”.
We meet in the middle of B block and spend our time sharing our Lego building skills and constructing marvelous creations.
The Children’s Wellness Centre in London, recently released a study showing that Lego building has some extremely positive effects on child development, including an increase in Teamwork and Social Skills, improvement of communication and language skills and a better understanding of problem solving, mathematics and spatial awareness. It has also been shown to help improve creativity and experimentation, physical development, self-confidence and the lowering of anxiety and stress. Who knew all of these benefits could come from plastic bricks?
Our first meeting was last week and we all had a fabulous time. Check out all the happy builders.
If your child is keen to join lunchtime construction club. Please come and see Mrs Glendinning.
