Bricks, Beads, and Big Ideas!πŸ’‘ 🐝

19th Sep 2025

Who knew LEGO bricks, K’nex rods, and a box of jewellery beads could teach us so much about teamwork? βœ‹

When we worked on these activities, we discovered that communication isn’t just about talking. Sometimes it meant pointing out a piece, showing someone how it fit, or stepping back to let someone else try their idea. πŸ’‘

We’ve been working together to create a LEGO city! Each child designed their own piece, and soon we’ll bring them all together to complete our very own Hive City. πŸ™οΈ 🐝

The children have also loved experimenting with K’nex! They’ve been challenging each other to build snowflakes and domes — each one bigger and more creative than the last.

During “You Choose” time, jewellery making was a big hit. The children made a variety of beautiful earrings and necklaces. Their attention and concentration were amazing, and this activity really tested our patience (and gave us a few laughs when beads went rolling across the table).

We are looking forward to our last week in the hall before moving into our brand new classroom! ☺️
