Home Education LEGO Workshops
At Brickies we are passionate about bringing learning to life through play. We believe that hands-on creativity and guided exploration of a topic makes learning a fun, memorable experience.
Our Home Education Sessions are 90 minutes long and take place on selected Thursdays at our Play Centre in Wokingham. Each session will cover a different topic for our learners to dive into.
Our sessions start with a visual introduction to the topic along with an opportunity for discussion and sharing of knowledge, before we move onto the hands-on LEGO building challenges.
We pride ourselves on delivering learning content that is engaging and challenging. Our Session Leader will be on hand to encourage and support the group throughout the 90 minutes to ensure they get the most out of the experience. All our staff are experienced learning facilitators that can adapt their delivery approach to ensure every child has the confidence to participate.
