Torah Academy is the second school in the country to be part of the project of ‘building education one brick at a time’.
“Our Lego programme has intrigued and wowed the minds of teachers and children alike. We are talking about new age, play-based learning – colour, 3D, team-based, fun, yet all-encompassing of physical, social, linguistic, numerical and emotional skills, all in one programme,” says Sara Bronstein, principal of the nursery school.
The younger groups have been given soft bricks to play with and the older groups a huge amount of Duplo Lego. In addition, there was the formalised six brick programme, with pyramid, as well as colour, associations.
