Lego Excursion
This week the Foundation and Grade 1 students attended the Lego Education Centre in Docklands, linking to our Inquiry Unit - Can We Fix It?
On Thursday 16 May, Room 1 and 2 went on an excursion to the Lego Education Centre, Docklands. We were so excited in the morning to go on our first excursion for the year. We had a fun day building a ‘Jack in the Box,’ and other constructions using Duplo. We had to build it by only looking at a picture and then using trial and error to see it work. We learnt about leavers, pullies and gears. In the second session we had time to become creative and build flying and moving objects using Lego, designing the coolest playground and building a seat for an adult to sit on!
It was a wonderful day! We were very tired at the end of the day, we even had some sleepy ones on the bus ride home.
Thank you to the parents who came along for the day and to the students who were fantastic!
