Engaging, Hands-On SEND School Workshops
Unlocking Creativity & Curiosity Through LEGO®-Based Learning
Every child deserves an engaging, enriching learning experience. At Build to Learn, we deliver hands-on workshops using LEGO bricks to bring topics to life in a way that is memorable, meaningful, and accessible for all learners. Our school workshops are designed to spark curiosity, immerse students in active problem-solving, and encourage creativity, while providing the right level of structure for those who need it.
We understand that no two learners are the same, which is why we work closely with SEND schools and resource bases to adapt our workshops, ensuring that every child can take part in a way that suits them best.
How Our Workshops Work in SEN Settings
We recognise that every SEN classroom is unique. That’s why our workshops are designed to be flexible, adaptable, and engaging, ensuring all students can participate in a way that best supports their learning.
Flexible School Workshop Delivery
- Tailored class sizes and session structure
Whether you need small groups, staggered sessions, or whole-class workshops, we adapt to what works best for your students. Teacher collaboration is built into the session for students who may struggle with new people.
- Pacing and movement breaks
Sessions are delivered at a comfortable pace, allowing students to engage without pressure. We incorporate natural movement breaks and re-engagement opportunities as needed.
Adapting to Diverse Learning Needs
- Choose from any of our Early Years, KS1, or KS2 workshops
We tailor existing workshops to meet the needs of your students, ensuring accessibility without compromising on educational value. View School Workshop Overviews here.
- Designed to support varying motor skills
Tasks range from free-building for exploratory play to structured challenges for students who require more guidance.
- Tailored communication
Instructions are delivered through visual aids, verbal cues, and hands-on demonstrations to support different learning styles. We can also provide a short introduction video of the facilitator before the session to help students feel comfortable in advance.
Creating a Comfortable Learning Environment
- Sensory considerations
For students sensitive to sensory input, we can adjust noise levels, provide quieter working spaces, and modify the environment to ensure a comfortable and engaging experience.
- Engagement over output
While learning objectives remain the same, outcomes are personalised, allowing each student to gain value and enjoyment from the session.
