Explore the fascinating world of plants and pollinators with our engaging KS1 Plants and Pollinators LEGO workshop. This hands-on school workshop allows children to discover the lifecycle of a plant, understand what pollinators are, and learn why they are essential for nature. Through creative LEGO building activities, students will gain insight into plant growth and the role of pollinators in helping our environment thrive.

In our KS1 Plants and Pollinators workshop, students will understand the concept of plant life cycles and the critical role pollinators play in helping plants grow and reproduce. They will explore each stage of a plant’s life, from seed to flower, and learn how pollinators like bees and butterflies contribute to this process.

Students will discover what pollinators are, why they are essential for the environment, and how plants and pollinators depend on one another for survival. Through interactive and creative LEGO building activities, students will bring these concepts to life, enhancing their understanding of nature’s intricate relationships.

By the end of this KS1 school workshop, students will be able to define and describe the lifecycle of a plant and the vital role of pollinators. They will identify the stages of plant growth, explain the importance of pollinators like bees and butterflies, and understand how these creatures help plants reproduce and thrive.

Additionally, students will demonstrate their understanding by building a LEGO model of a plant’s lifecycle and creating their own pollinator, reinforcing their knowledge of these essential environmental connections.

Introduction to Plants and Pollinators: A brief discussion on the lifecycle of plants, what pollinators are, and why they are essential for plant growth and reproduction.

Exploring the Plant Lifecycle and Pollinators: An interactive visual presentation covering each stage of a plant’s life, the role of pollinators, and how these creatures support plant survival.

LEGO Building Challenge Part 1: Children build a LEGO model of a plant, depicting its lifecycle from seed to flower.

LEGO Building Challenge Part 2: Children create their own LEGO pollinator, such as a bee or butterfly, and discuss its role in helping plants grow.

Presentation and Discussion: Each group presents their LEGO plant and pollinator, explaining how they work together to support nature. Teachers are encouraged to take photos of the completed models before resetting the LEGO at the end of the session.

Our Plants and Pollinators LEGO Building Workshop is a 75-minute session filled with immersive, hands-on learning. We start with an engaging visual presentation that introduces the lifecycle of plants and the essential role of pollinators, exploring key facts about how they work together to sustain nature. This sets the stage for an exciting LEGO building challenge where children first construct a plant model, depicting its growth stages, and then create their own pollinator, focusing on its role in helping plants thrive.

We conclude the workshop by reviewing the children’s creations, summarising the key lessons learned, and encouraging teachers to capture photos of the LEGO masterpieces. This workshop not only educates but also inspires creativity and critical thinking through playful construction.
