Term 4, 2022 Unit: In My Backyard |
|
B.Blocks is a fun structured class designed for kids who are just beginning to learn and understand their world. A mix of play based learning, skills based discovery and literacy combine to create this wonderful new program. How Does a B-Blocks Class Work? In this class kids and their grown ups will work together to solve a set of problems, and complete projects. Kids at this age are just starting to learn about sharing, teamwork and problem solving and these are all keen learning areas for this class. How many kids in a class? In this age group we will have up to 6 children and their adults in each class. For children who are ready to attend a class without their adult, we recommend our GroundWork (3.5 to 6 years). What materials do you use? In B.Blocks we use a wide variety of construction and engineering tools and materials. Our core resources are Duplo Education, Duplo Big Builders, Kid K'Nex, Magformers, Goldiblox, Kapla and Plus Plus. We also have a large variety of mixed resources and class props. Each term brings a new theme, a new focus, and many different resources to learn, explore, and enjoy. How Long Does A Class Go For? A B.Blocks lesson will run for 45 minutes. What topics do we cover in B.Blocks? In this age group we have 4 different units covering topics such as mechanical engineering, structural engineering, environmental engineering, animal science, town planning, logic and sequencing. Children will explore engineering, early maths, science, planning, sequencing, and divergent thinking in a fun, engaging and creative way. Children can attend this age group for a maximum of 12 months.

In My Backyard When you step outside, you have the world at your feet. When you look through the eyes of a child, the world is so much bigger, more wondrous, and has so much more potential.
This term, we will be exploring the wonder of Our Backyard through STEM, literacy, and imagination play. Everything from the fun you can have at your house, to the 'great outdoors' of our Australian backyard. |

Where did the Fox Blocks program come from? The Fox Blocks program has been designed and developed by our team of Flying Fox Studios teachers, right here in Brisbane. Written by educaters and engineers, it combines play based learning for the littlies, instructional learning for the older kids, and lots of teamwork! We have been running the program for over 8 years from our Everton Park studio, and have seen thousands of children attend our classes over the years. We are passionate about creating a curriculum that focus on all branches of the STEM/STEAM tree, and not just one part. So throughout our entire Fox Block curriculum you will see all the elements of Science, Tenchnology, Engineering and Maths at play. |

Children must meet the minimum age requirement before enrolling in a class at Flying Fox Studios. This is our standard policy across all classes, programs, and age groups. We will give a 4 week 'grace' period for children close to the cut off, however other than this we will not enrol children into out of age range classes. Children must be at least 2.5 years of age minimum to enrol or trial in this age group. |
