All the pupils at Witchampton First School, part of Wimborne Academy Trust, decamped to the village hall to mark Science Week – by building with Lego.
With the theme of ‘growth’, the youngsters designed and created their own town, which included houses, vehicles, roads, trains, airports and woods.
There were 20,000 pieces of Lego available during the day, which was organised by Bob Walker of Primary Workshop.
Headteacher Jo Hancock said: “With the theme of ‘growth’ our children were able to grow their own town out of nothing.
“They all loved building with Lego and it taught them many lessons, including the importance of collaboration and communication.
“The children designed and planned their own parts of the creation and then built them either on their own or with others. It was fun to see the whole thing coming together and watching the children become totally absorbed in it.”
Liz West, CEO of Wimborne Academy Trust, said: “Science is an important subject and it’s crucial to introduce it as early as possible.
“I’m sure that through the day the children learned a great deal without even realising it.”
