What Home Education Looks Like - 21st March 2016
We went to Milestones for their annual Lego event, normally called Lego Mania but this year called "Brick Kingdom". It was different to previous years, with a much more coherent plot and flow through the museum with booklets to fill in. These signs were a new thing too....
The children started by making their own mini-figure...
....then we moved into the main part and filling out the booklets. I was worried they might find it a bit young, but they were very enthusiastic and seemed a better age for it than the toddlers we saw going round.
There were even costumes big enough for them!
Yup they're both getting tall!
After we'd been around the whole thing once we went up and ate our lunch and they got themselves some lego sets from the shop.
We then went back down to do the penny arcade (they bring pennies for it every time!) and a visit back to some of their favourite bits.

What Home Education Looks Like - 20th April 2015
Lego Mania this year was better than ever before. Normally the Lego has a theme but no progression and no obvious connection to the museum itself. This year was a theme of "Bricks in Motion" and the hoistory of vehicles was told through lego models as you moved through the museum.
As it was the Easter holidays we met up with Povey's old classmate and his brother and their mother, and spent a lovely day looking around the place and of course building Lego!
We had a such a great time we have renewed our yearly membership and plan to visit again this week.
