Welcome to our KS1 Sustainability Workshop, where young learners explore the crucial topic of climate change through interactive and engaging activities. Using LEGO bricks, students will understand what climate change is, its impact on our planet, and how innovative building solutions can help mitigate these effects.

This 75 minute LEGO building workshop is designed to inspire creativity and environmental responsibility among students.

Topic: Climate Change – Understanding its Causes, Effects, and Solutions

Main Activity: Building a LEGO Eco House

Duration: 75 Minutes

This workshop is part of our KS1 School Workshops series, focusing on important environmental topics. In addition to our Sustainability Workshop, we offer a variety of other engaging workshops, such as Ocean Clean Up and Rainforest Rescue, designed to educate and inspire young learners about the natural world and the importance of protecting it.

This KS1 school workshop on sustainability is designed to help young students understand what climate change is and it’s importance. Through interactive discussions and hands-on activities, students will learn about the causes and effects of climate change and explore ways to reduce its impact through sustainable living and building practices. Additionally, the workshop aims to develop students’ creativity and problem-solving skills as they design and build their own Eco House using LEGO bricks.

By the end of this KS1 workshop on sustainability and climate change, students will have a clear understanding of what climate change is and its significance. They will be able to identify the causes and effects of climate change and discuss practical ways to mitigate its impact through sustainable practices. Moreover, students will have enhanced their creativity and problem-solving skills by designing and constructing an Eco House with LEGO bricks, incorporating features that promote environmental sustainability.

Our KS1 Sustainability LEGO Building Workshop offers 75 minutes of immersive, hands-on learning. We begin with an engaging visual presentation that vividly illustrates the concept of climate change and its impact on the planet. During this session, we explore existing knowledge and discuss key facts about climate change, its causes, and its effects.

Following the presentation, we introduce an exciting LEGO building challenge. The children are tasked with constructing their own Eco Houses, focusing specifically on incorporating essential features such as wind turbines, solar panels, rooftop gardens, heat pumps, and wildlife habitats. We guide them on the key sustainable elements their LEGO designs should include and explain their significance in combating climate change.

To conclude the workshop, we review the children’s creations, summarise the key lessons learned, and encourage teachers to capture photos of the LEGO masterpieces. This workshop not only educates but also inspires creativity and critical thinking through playful construction, making environmental sustainability come alive for young learners.
