Boys love building things. Even infants have a go with blocks as babies. As a boy I remember first my Lincoln Logs and then my Erector Set. This is called Mechano in Britain. We didn't notice any of this at the schools, but perhsps this is an activity at some schools.. Everything now-a-days seems t0 be plastic. We did notice Lego sets at several schools which the younger children, almost boys, have fin with. This is both a free time activity and a club activity.

Lego Activity

This has been much enjoyed on Wednesday afternoons. Dominic Clark and Peter Elliott even made a model of the tower of flats on India which wereseen on the news. One tower was burning while the other was the base of a very rickety bridge. Parents are always welcome to come and see the afternoon's work at the time when the day children go home.
