    "House of Bricks came to our school to host a day session with both our seniors and juniors. They provided 4 super easy-to-run sessions with a huge amount of resources to go along with them. Our kids loved the learning opportunities they provided, and there was a lot of great communication, creativity and collaboration between the teams during these activities. Our children were completely engaged and complained about not having enough time!"

    Bridgette, Teacher

    “We had Rachel from House of Bricks come to our school and run a day with our tamariki. This was amazing. They learned all about maths, team work, communication, problem solving and creativity. I would highly recommend them for any school!”

    Rebecca, Teacher.

     

    "Our school has been buzzing with creative minds, problem solvers, mathematicians, and engineers today because of House of Bricks. Our girls are fully engaged, and have loved each of the tasks organised. Rachel's communication was clear and made the entire setup process seamless. She was proactive about sharing her requirements of what she needed and came to school early to ensure she was ready to go on time. The spaces were well thought out and the brics looked amazing!"

    Lee, Teacher.
