Brickwrecks: Home Educator Day
25 Apr 2025
To celebrate the Brickwrecks: Sunken Ships in LEGO® Bricks exhibition, our next home educator day will offer the chance to learn about the science of ship making, try your hand at making your own LEGO® ship, and test it in our Tow Tank. Hopefully, not creating your own shipwreck!
There will also be an opportunity to participate in an illustration-based Arts Award session. This session will tell the story of HMS EREBUS and HMS TERROR, two of the shipwrecks highlighted in the exhibition. You will create your own splash page or small comic strip and on completion of your art log, you can submit your work for an Arts Award Discover level.
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsor – Kent Reliance 120 home educator places have been made available free of charge, along with 60 free Arts Award sessions. If the free sessions are fully booked, you can purchase tickets for £10.50 per child and adult.
Arts awards are available for 5 – 25 years, and our shipbuilding session is suitable for 7+ years. Both are bookable for the children within your group.
“I would like to sincerely send our gratitude for such a wonderful day, filled with educational activities. Without these opportunities, our home-educated children could not thrive in their learning journey. Not only through academic skills but through fun, thought-provoking, and real hands-on experiences, gaining knowledge in the history, arts & design and science curriculum. An amazing experience and a ‘must visit for everyone.”
Nina Ball, KS3/KS4 Home Educators Group.
Kent Reliance support for Arts Education for Children
We are grateful to Kent Reliance for their sponsorship of the Brickwrecks: Home Educators Day. The creative arts fuel innovation and imagination, developing lifelong skills of perception, understanding, productivity and wellbeing. Art, music, drama, design and dance bring together young people of all backgrounds, to find ways to express themselves and gain greater understanding of who they are, and where they belong in the world. The creative arts offer such a wealth of immeasurable benefits and personal satisfaction to the individual, their families and communities.
