"Building for Fun Exploring to Learn"


Who doesn't love Lego?  Today the Senior Hub have had fun building and exploring with Lego thanks to Rachel and Jason from House of Bricks.  This company was started after Rachel had saved for years and while recuperating from pneumonia, thought of the idea. She then spent all of her savings on Lego.  Her sister who is a teacher, helped develop the programmes and linked the activities to the New Zealand Curriculum.  
Working to create gardens.

Creating buildings from around the world.




House of Bricks do birthday parties, holiday programmes and fundraising events.  Check them out and get creating.

  5. Hi, Juelz here from Owairaka District School Room 22,
    I like that you used your imagination to make it out of Lego pieces. Have you thought of making it out of paper mache? Like the Eiffel Tower,Statue of Liberty or the Christ the Redeemer from Rio. If you would like to look at my learning blog it is http//odsjuelzdu.blogspot.co.nz

    Your sincerely Juelz.

  7. Hey guys it'S Eli.
    Woho this is awesome I didn't even see all the cool builds people did.

    I liked the forest once the best because it was more like life just a few colors but you couldn't make the buildings symmetrical with colors and shapes.
