We had a few problems initially with sourcing the sets that we needed and with sorting out our funding due to our office manager being on long term sick, so our project couldn't actually start until the Summer Term.
All 3 of our Y1 classes took part in the Lego project, a total of 90 children. With 3 teachers and 3 TA's also leading the sessions.
Verbal feedback was gained from the children who took part in the project and photos of the project were shared weekly with parents through our Tapestry app.
Initially we wanted the project to run for the full 10 weeks, however, due to the initial issues we actually ran the project for 7 weeks across the Summer term.
The project was a resounding success, with all of the children taking part and exploring the STEM activities. Our children with SEND also found the project easy to take part in and could engage with the resources well.
The feedback from the children was very positive, with children commenting that they really enjoyed being able to have Lego as one of their lessons and that they looked forward to it every week

Hi,
I've just completed our impact report, however, it's only allowed me to upload one of the receipts for the project and not the rest of them.
Where do I need to upload the rest of the receipts to?
Some photos from our very successful first Lego project!
Timeline – Staff training to run the project will take place over the Autumn Term. Initially the project will be delivered to small groups of children through a school club provision run by Clare McCluskey. This will give me the chance to understand how to teach and deliver the lessons using the resources and then we will hold staff meetings to allow the rest of the staff team to explore the resources as well.
Once the initial training has been completed then the project will be delivered to all of the children in KS1 during the Spring 1 term. (Jan-March) The children in Early years will also have access to the project and this will be delivered in small group sessions throughout the year.
Budget – The entirety of the initial budget £1700 will go on purchasing 9 Lego steam park kits at a cost of £1699.38.
Covid Safety Plan – We still undertake extra cleaning of resources and ensure that children are regularly washing their hands throughout the day.
Expected impact – Approximately 230 children will take part in this project and we will aim to train 11 members of staff initially to deliver and teach this. The impact of the project will be measured through formative observations of the children through their play and exploration of the resources. A big focus for us is the exposure to STEM activities, providing our children with the opportunity to problem solve, communicate with others effectively and take on a role within their team to achieve their goal. Initially, this process will be very guided by staff but we are hoping to see children independently engaging with these resources and guiding their own explorations.
