Beyond Bricks in P3H

This term we began the ‘Beyond Bricks’ Programme in P3. This programme has a series of 5 interactive workshops using Lego building and other activities to increase pupils’ emotional health and well-being. 

The development of the ‘Beyond Bricks’ Programme involved extensive research into child development, resilience, learning styles, emotional well-being and emotional literacy. Last year, MindWise NI trained 2 members of our staff and provided resources for ‘Beyond Bricks’ so that our pupils can continue benefitting from it for years to come. 

The main aim of the programme is to support people to recover and discover new skills to effectively manage their emotional well-being, now and into the future. The sessions also aim to;
1. Provide a fun and safe learning environment for young people to explore their well-being.
2. Increase young peoples emotional literacy and resilience through reflections, discussions and play using LEGO Based therapy.
3. Support each young person to create a personalised emotional well-being toolkit.
