Brick Club
Last Friday Lisa B and I went to Lego Therapy workshop to learn the theory behind Brick Club and how to facilitate Brick Club in schools. We are life long learners just like all our students at New Windsor.

| Our group agreed to make this Toy Story Lego following the instructions. |
Brick Club is a social skills group targeted for neuro diverse students who meet weekly with a facilitator to socialize with each other and build Lego together.
Brick Club is very different to New Windsor School's lunchtime Lego Club, because Brick Club is run by a trained facilitator working with only three students at a time. It's run in class time and encourages participants to cooperate, communicate and collaborate together.

| Our facilitator chose our group's freestyle bricks as the most creative. |
During the Brick Club sessions students collaborate to select their Lego of choice to build, then they decide which student has each of the three specific roles to get started. These roles or jobs are the Supplier, the Engineer and the Builder. The group agree on a time limit for the roles then swap once the time is up. They participate and contribute to the group in a polite and encouraging manner so all the members of the club feel valued.
