On the day:
​

We will explore the nest weaving of birds, the cellular structures created by bees, the underwater playgrounds of coral and fish and more.
Your child will learn all about the incredible building abilities of these animals and the architecture they inspire through storytelling and architectural imagery. You will then build and create an architectural model using those lessons within the class and at the end each child will present their work and the narrative behind their creation.
you are able to take home your own creations each week. 
All materials provided.
​
We will also provide a take home card with the week's animal, architectural lesson, and activities you can do at home to reinforce the learning.

We want to encourage quality time between parents and children, which is why we have designed the course to be worked on together. We hope that this creates lasting memories of enjoyment and learning.
