🧱 Beyond Bricks Lego Programme 🧩

9th Jun 2026

It was a pleasure to welcome Adrian Devlin from MindWise back into school yesterday as we marked the final session of our six-week Beyond Bricks Programme 🧱✨ with our P3, P4 and P7 classes.

Over the past six weeks, our pupils have thoroughly enjoyed taking part in these engaging workshops, using Lego building, play and guided thinking to explore how the brain works 🧠, understand their emotions 💭, and develop positive strategies to help manage them in a healthy and effective way.

We would like to extend a sincere thank you to Adrian for his enthusiasm, expertise and support throughout the programme. He has helped our pupils build confidence, resilience and a valuable toolkit of skills that will support them both now and in the future 🌟.

Although this block of sessions has now come to an end, the learning certainly doesn’t stop here! We look forward to continuing to use the Beyond Bricks approach within our school and rolling it out to other classes in the next academic year 📚👧👦.
