• - LEGO is a building toy that can be used to create static and moving models. 
• - Basic engineering and physics principles are explored through experimentation and research.

• - Creativity facilitates construction design.

   

 

When you book a creative play session, we will set up a private building space adjacent to our play area for your students. They are also welcome to build in our LEGO and DUPLO pits, and can explore Hapori under your supervision. LEGO and DUPLO play encourage creativity, spatial reasoning and fine motor skill development.

 

We are learning to:

• - Play constructively
• - Manage our own behaviour
• - Use materials to create for individual entertainment, expression and fun

Use our range of worksheets to engage your students in some fun learning before you come along. All our worksheets feature a LEGO building challenge, which students can complete in our play area.
If you are just coming to play, consider letting students choose their own worksheet, encouraging them to pursue independent learning interests.
Or, check our worksheets by topic to find one that matches learning you have already done in your classroom!
