Brickies Education – School Workshops

At Brickies our service is simple. We deliver fun, educational and engaging brick building workshops, using LEGO elements. Every workshop we deliver is carefully designed to create an immersive learning experience for the children to build along to.

We start our workshops with an engaging visual presentation that is linked to a curriculum topic of choice. We then provide the children with building challenges that are linked to the topic. There are no instructions to follow, we promote imagination and creativity. We provide support throughout the sessions in the form of ideas/ suggestions for their builds and bundles of positive re-enforcement.

Our workshops are more than just building with LEGO they provide children with a hands-on learning experience that enables learning to happen in a creative and playful way. We are often told by teachers that they are amazed to see how all children are engaged in the activity, including those that find academic learning more challenging.

Thank YOU for a fantastic morning! Very well organised and you went above and beyond to tailor it to our learning – we will be recommending you again. The children enjoyed the morning so much and couldn’t stop talking about it for the rest of the day so thank you!

Workshop sizes

We are flexible in terms of how many children or classes we will deliver our LEGO building workshops to. It may be that you are interested in a single class having a Brickies workshop to help bring a lesson to life or you are interested in the whole school having a LEGO experience. Our workshop timings and how many we can deliver in a school day vary depending on how many classes will be participating. Typically we like to have no more than 30 children participating in one workshop at a time. When enquiring about our workshops if you include the number of classes / children you would like to be included then we will come back to you with a proposed delivery timetable.

    School Workshops FAQs

    Our LEGO building school workshops are suitable for all ages from Early Years to School Leavers. We do primarily work with primary school aged children, those in EYFS, KS1, KS2 and SEND.

    Typically our LEGO School Workshops are 60 – 75 minutes long. The duration is subject to change depending on the type of workshop we are delivering. If delivering to 4 or less classes in one day we recommend 75 minutes where possible. We are often asked to work with a whole school in one day, to achieve this we reduce down the sessions times to 30 – 45 minutes to ensure we can work with all children. We can also plan our timings around school breaks times and lunch.

    We pride ourselves on offering competitively priced school workshops as we understand the budget restraints schools are working with. The total cost is very much dependant on the type of workshop you would like and how many classes you would like us to work with. We also have to factor in travel time from our base in Wokingham. For pricing please complete the contact form above or email us on [email protected]

    Once we finalise a booking with the school we will send you an invoice that can be paid via BACs. We request that the invoice is paid within 7 days of the event delivery date. We can be flexible on these terms so please let us know if you have a specific invoicing process.

    We are based in Wokingham, Berkshire and although our immediate focus is working within Berkshire, Surrey and Hampshire we do travel to London, surrounding areas and across the South. If you work in a school that is located outside of these areas please do still enquire as we are flexible on travel.

    We work with as little as one class having a LEGO school workshop to a four form entry school delivering to all classes and anywhere in-between. If you let us know how many classes you would like to participate in an activity we will propose a timetable based on that number. We can also tailor the content of each workshop to reflect a learning topic that the class is learning about.

    We are very flexible as to where we deliver the LEGO school workshop. Typically we work in the classroom as all we need is access to tables to put the LEGO on and access to a screen is desirable. The room would need to be big enough for the number of children participating. We like to set a maximum of approx 30 on each workshop although we can work with larger groups if you have a space and tables that can accommodate.

    It only takes 5 – 10 minutes to set up a LEGO school workshop and the same again to tidy it away.

    Yes, we pride ourselves on creating an inclusive experience during our LEGO building workshops. The beauty of LEGO building is that you can build independently and to your own skills and pace. We work with a number of SEND children and even if they struggle to complete the building challenge they often enjoy the sensory experience of the colours, shapes and bricks. Our facilitators are experienced in working with a wide range of children and will accommodate to ensure everyone is included.

    We offer a wide number of topics for our LEGO Building Workshops, these can be viewed on the Early Years, KS1 and KS2 pages of our website. However we also often create a bespoke theme if a class or school want to link it to something specific. Just let us know what you have in mind and we will do our best to link it in.

    All our Facilitators are enhanced DBS checked and will present their certificate and photo ID on arrival to the school. Proof of these can be emailed in advance if required. We also all have up to date safeguarding training certificates.

    Yes, we have a risk assessment we can send you in advance of our school workshop visit. We also have the required Public Liability Insurance and Employee Liability Insurance in place, evidence of these can be provided.
