Brick Club with Emma

A huge THANK YOU to the model makers, the creators, the team, the parents and families who came along and made this event so special!

Over the past few weeks, I've been a little quieter on here.

Not because Brick Club has been quiet—quite the opposite!

I've been spending my time revisiting photographs, reading back through my notes, remembering conversations, smiles, funny quotes and wonderful creations, and writing individual Learning Journeys for every child who attended this term.

It has been one of the most rewarding pieces of work I've done.

Each journey has reminded me that behind every LEGO model is a child with their own way of thinking, noticing, imagining and making sense of the world. Having the privilege of slowing down enough to reflect on those moments before sharing them with families has been incredibly special.

Thank you to all of the parents who have entrusted me with your amazing children this term. I hope your Learning Journeys and photographs become something you enjoy looking back on together for years to come.

Now that they've all been sent, I can finally take a deep breath!

Alongside a little summer breathing space, I'm looking forward to sharing more of the thoughts that have been quietly taking shape behind the scenes. Brick Club has given me so much to reflect upon—not just about LEGO and play, but about childhood, belonging, curiosity and the many different ways children show us who they are when we take the time to notice.

So, whilst things may remain a little slower than usual over the summer, I hope to share some of those reflections with you over the coming weeks.

As always, thank you for following along and for being part of this lovely community.
