Strengthening Key Competencies through Creative Team Building
Students will be set various engaging challenges that they will complete in both small and larger teams. Students will get the opportunity in this program to see how they can combine their personal strengths and innovative ideas with others to build not just a strong brick build, but a stronger team.
COST: $100/hr.
Numbers and Measurement – Exploring core Mathematical concepts with Bricks
We will have the students exploring maths concepts such as Patterns, Number Recognition, and Measurement through the hands on use of bricks. Students will be fully engaged while they demonstrate their understanding of these base Math concepts and expand on their knowledge through this innovative program.
COST: $100/hr.
Māori Myths and Legends
Tane and Maui – 2 great legends from our country’s Māori heritage will be the base for students to explore their understanding of our natural environment and survival in it. They will demonstrate their understanding of how a forest based ecosystem works and supports all living things in it. Plus students will get a chance to explore the idea of their own survival on an Island they build.
COST: $100/hr. Maximum 40 Students.
Exploration and Creative Build Program
We will provide a wide range of various themed building areas where the students will use the time to creatively build as they feel inspired by the bricks provided. This session is all about students using the time to discover their creative skills, explore new ways of building, express their ideas, and become more confident in their construction skills.
COST: $100 per hour. Max 120 Students. Minimum 1.5 hours required.
Mix and Match
Reflection, Symmetry and Patterns (45 minutes) – Students will design a mosaic using their knowledge of symmetry or patterns to design a colorful masterpiece.
50 Piece Challenge (45 minutes) – students will be challenged to design sculptures with a set pack of 50 bricks. There is 24 ways to put together just 2, 2×4 stud Bricks – so the possibilities with 50 pieces are great!!!
Friction, Traction and Aerodynamics (45 minutes) – Students will work with the kits provided to build 3 vehicles. They will test, re design, and work out how friction, traction and aerodynamics impact how their vehicles perform.
Tall and Strong (45 minutes) – Students will work with boxes filled with 2×2 and 2×4 bricks. They will work in teams to build the tallest, strongest tower possible in the time limit. Can the teams combine their efforts to make it taller?
COST: $100 per hour. Minimum 90 minutes required (complete 2 activities in this time). Max 30 students* per activity.
*Groups of up to 30 Students can complete any 1 of the activities at a time. For example 30 students can work on Tall and Strong while another 30 students work on the 50 piece challenge, groups will then rotate around the challenges. Full input from all teaching staff is required for a successful session. For younger students (year 1-3) parent helpers can help enhance the session experience for the students.
Technology
What makes a car run well and how do you build it strong? How do you build a bridge with just LEGO parts? How do you build an inclined plane, catapault or other leavers to move an object a set distance?
COST: $100/hr. Maximum 60 Students.
Minimum 1.5 hours required to complete all 3 activities (this allows just 25 minutes with each activity. More time allows for more thought and design time at each activity)
Our World
During this program students will consider how our natural environment and ecosystems. They will learn about various world famous buildings as they construct them from bricks. Alongside this students will also design with a Zoo or Farm and consider what each animal needs to survive.
COST: $100/hr. Maximum 60 Students.
Minimum 1.5 hours required to complete all 3 activities (this allows just 25 minutes with each activity. More time allows for more thought and design time at each activity)
Game Time Program
Students will engage in tasks that will get them thinking critically and collaboratively as they complete the program. Students will be challenged to beat the House of Bricks Tower building record (currently 3.6m by a team of 20 within 30 minutes!). They will join in a team game of pass the bricks which will challenge students to think outside the square as they build onto fellow students builds while respecting what others have achieved. Other tasks will see students building with just 1 colour and ending with an active Brick and Spoon race – weather permitting.
COST: $100/hr. Maximum 60 Students.
Minimum 2 hours required to complete all 4 activities (this allows just 25 minutes with each activity. More time allows for more thought and design time at each activity)
Building to Tell a Story
Students will work in teams to create scenes that will tell a story. They will plan, build and record their creations (with photos or video depending on tech available). This is an exciting creative session that get the students thinking as a team and how to tell a story without using a pen!
COST: 2 hours, Max 40 Students = $200
Build a Map
Students will work in teams to map out a new land they have just discovered! What resources does the land provide? Where will people live? How will they preserve the land? Students will plan, build and record their creations.
COST: 2 hours, Max 40 Students = $200
WE COME TO YOU!!
Available Monday – Saturday
FEEDBACK
“Thank you, thank you, thank you. It was the best thing we have organised to have at school in a very long time. It far exceeded our expectations”
“The session was extremely well organized and the challenges all engaged the children, and were set around topics that were of high interest, particularly the challenges of building a car to race, the space theme and the forest stations. Other stations provided wonderful opportunities for co-operative and partner leading. Everyone was engaged the entire time, and loving it!”
“Our behavioral children were completely on task and engaged the whole time. Our special needs children surprised us with how much they knew”
“Thank you! A much enjoyed morning!”
