Speedsters challenge!

Bob the Speedster was a small, lightweight build housing a mini-figure!

Using a blow-up dolphin as a mascot, The Small Siren had a long base and big front wheels to pull the speedster down the ramp, reaching a total distance of 94.5", well over 2 metres!

The Zombie Car was also a short, tall build with an awesome name! This could easily be the beginning of a Halloween display where the team have to hunt zombies, werewolves and witches!

80 Bricks- Easter Half Term Expedition!

The children invented their own space rockets for a trip to the moon!

The challenge required them to build a structure which encased their mini-figure.

Some chose to add wheels so upon landing, the rocket became an explorer rover.

Here are the technical diagrams for the space rockets, the right-hand design is fuelled by a slushie.

The design below channels Hubble, featuring the longest telescope ever using a top hat piece as a dust cap.

Here is a moon speeder, rover and illustrated flight plan!

Around the World May Half-Term 2-Day Quest!

28-29th May will be a 2-Day excursion Around the World in 80 Bricks!

Amazon Climb to the Castle of Life!

After completing chapters in their Adventurer Journals, the children split into two big groups: the amazon makers; the bobsleigh builders.

The teams grouped up the rainforest colours to build an amazon scene with tall trees and the Castle of Life nestled amongst them.

Sensei navigates the rainforest searching for the Castle of Life, taking in the sights and scaling the heights.

World's Longest Bridges

In one of the early challenges the students were challenged to use their bricks economically to build the longest bridge that could hold their sidekick minifigure!

Some of them had 4G wifi and flower baskets.

Speedsters!

The children all had the same amount of pieces to build and test a speedster!

Some students used every single brick to add weight to the speedster, and some kept it low to the ground with smaller, wide-set wheels like a sports car.

We tested the speedsters down a big ramp and they were all Lego trailblazers!

The speedsters needed a cockpit to include mini-figure driver and at least two wheels, all the students went for four wheels for stability.

Polar Expedition!

During the Polar Expedition, the snow fell heavy so children had to pair up to build an igloo and a snow plough to pile the snow up!

The igloo needed to be big enough to shelter their minifigure from the arctic breeze.
