Hi everyone,

This week we have started our new topic: inventions! We have started by looking at the invention of Lego; which has proven very popular with everyone in class. We found out that the inventor of Lego (and Duplo) was a man from Denmark called Ole Kirk Christiansen.

In maths we have looked at the different colours and the patterns that can be made with the bricks, before trying to both copy sequences of bricks and create our own. In science we looked at what material Lego was made out of, and we discovered that it was plastic. After that we experimented with the Lego to find out the properties of plastic and why it is a good material to make the bricks out of. We discovered that Lego (plastic) was waterproof, hard, shiny and not bendy. In art we have made Lego and Duplo prints, which now form part of our class display. We practised our fine motor skills by completing Lego drawings and colourings and topped it all of with some of the Lego movie this afternoon.

Have a good weekend everyone!
