2011 Spring Lego Lab Update

Dear Parents and Supporters,

2nd Semester Lego Lab is Going Full Speed Ahead!

We have added another Lab to the Schedule and that is for the 3rd/4th Grade Students on Thursdays from 14:40 to 15:55.  This will be a short 8 week lab only and will alternate between all girl and all boy labs.  Parent Volunteer Noel Bush is spearheading this effort and we appreciate all of his great help!  Currently, there are five girls who are having a great deal of fun exploring the different elements on their own time and and in their own way.

Currently, the Monday Flex Lab averages between 20 to 22 boys which is now at maximum for the room.  We are in need of another adult volunteer for this time and if you can make the commitment on a weekly basis, please contact legolab@nelson-mandela-school.net.  Next year, the Flex Lego Lab will also work along the lines as the 3/4 lab:  alternating all girl and all boy labs for 8 week periods.  This will give girls an opportunity to explore technology and boys to explore many other internal workshops that the school currently provides.

The Friday Lego Lab now averages 13 members.  To help facilitate other outside Friday interests and longer playdates, the lab time changed this semester to run from 13:30 to 15:00.  Currently the students in the Friday Lego Lab have been working on a large castle project plus many other fun creative projects.  This Lego Lab is open to all Primary Students from Flex through 6th Grade.

For parents who have children in the Monday or Friday Lego Lab, please don't forget to send in the 20 Euros Material fee.  You child may bring cash to the Lab and your account will be credited or you may send an Überweizung for the 20 Euro materials fee and any additional donations to:
Förderverien der Nelson-Mandela-Schule
Berliner Volksbank
BLZ 100 900 00
Konto 102 02 32 001


We accept material and cash donations!
The Lego Lab will accept any and all donations of both new and gently used Lego elements (basic and technic), old Lego Kits (which will be integrated into existing inventory), directions from various Lego Projects and books about Lego.  Money donations for purchase of new and used materials are always welcome.  

We hope you have a great Spring!

Keep on Building!!!
