The Grade 1’s, 2’s and 3’s had the privilege of experiencing a Young Engineers Workshop over the course of the week, using lego pieces and equipment to build a ‘real, functioning’ washing machine. We are thankful for this wonderful, intentional, engaging and purposeful opportunity and our Foundation Phase children are keenly looking forward to more workshops in the future.
A comment from one of the children… “It was better than fun!”
