LJ Lego Masters Competition in the Primary School
Many students in the Primary School have been participating in our Lego Masters competition. Most of us grew up with Lego. It is one of the largest brands in the world, is instantly recognisable and has a massive fan base.
There are many educational benefits of creating, configuring and crafting with the colourful, multi-faceted bricks. The following are some benefits:
- Teamwork and communication
- Patience and organisational skills
- Constructive problem solving and lateral thinking
- Adventure and experimentation
- Fine motor skills development
- Increases spatial awareness
- Better focus and concentration
The Week 1 theme was 'Buildings'. It wasn’t easy for our judges to choose the best building. There were double storey houses, a multi-cultural home, a Pet shop, a Recycling centre, a Frozen castle, houses with roof-top terraces, the Eifel Tower and the Taj Mahal to name a few. The students were all so creative and we are excited for the weeks to come.
