Lego CLub, Active School & Reading

Lego club 🧱

First class started Lego club this Wednesday after school. We had lots of fun exploring how to make our structures stronger by interlocking our bricks! We started working on building castles, we learnt how to work well as a team and help our team mates to source the bricks we needed and create our designs and make them strong. Next week we will finish our castles and then we will move onto our next project! Stay tuned to see some of our creations as the weeks go on!
