Parents say...
"My five year old son has attended three of the Bricks Clubs sessions now with one of his pals and they both have thoroughly enjoyed every session and always ask when the next one is on. They like there is a regular theme for the day but that they also have the freedom to create what they want as well. The venue is fantastic and it is a lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon. We look forward to the next one!" Roisin
"The class is a great opportunity to allow my kids the freedom to let their creative juices run wild in a friendly safe environment"
‘Our 5 year old loves Bricks Club! There are no rules, can build the weekly theme or create anything that you want. Huge selection of Lego to choose from and the team that run the club are so friendly and interactive with the kids’ Laura
"Bricks club is an amazing experience for any child. Each week a different theme which the kids love. My son who is 8 is still engrossed on his build and reluctant to leave which as a parent tells me all I need to know." Lynda
"Keir has told me that it's his favourite thing at the weekend! He likes when me or mum stay and help build the challenge. He also likes seeing what other kids make so he can get some ideas. He thinks "it's a happy club!" Colin
"My son has absolutely loved attending Bricks Club at his school. We have booked every block that’s been available and he has learned so much, thanks to Julie. Such a great class for children to be involved in, from a learning and social point of view. I would highly recommend!" Robyn
Headteachers say...
"We have been working with Julie for a few years now and absolutely love having Bricks as part of our after-school clubs. It is always a very popular choice for our P1-3 pupils.
Julie organises every aspect of the club from set up to delivery and ensuring children leave safely at the end of each session.
The online booking system ensures that children have an equal opportunity to sign up. The only job our admin do is to send the link out via GroupCall email. Julie ensures that those who miss out on a place are added to the waiting list and given early access to spaces the next time. Parents find this helpful as they know that even if they miss out this time, they will have an opportunity to sign up for the next available space.
Bricks helps to foster enthusiasm for STEM by setting challenges, encouraging teamwork, developing problem solving skills and celebrating design and innovation. Children are encouraged to be creative and to share their ideas with others. Bricks has been helpful in developing the confidence and the talking and listening skills of some of our youngest learners.
Parent feedback from Bricks has been very positive and the number of repeat club members is testimony in itself to how amazing Bricks Club and Julie are!" Joanne McKissack, Headteacher
