We recently invested in a programme called ‘Six bricks’. It is a very simple concept whereby pupils each have 6 Lego duplo bricks which they can use in endless ways including:
• Language such as describing in rich detail, giving clear instructions, explaining your reasons, and telling stories, which helps you to communicate with others and express your ideas.
• Problem solving including to stay focused, and remember a task or a challenge, set goals and make plans, come up with creative ideas,and reflect on what you do and how you do it.
• Collaboration as in working together in pairs or teams, share turns and the materials you work with, learn from your peers and their ideas, and give each other roles and responsibilities.
We had so much fun today and look forward to exploring more in the coming days!
