My friend Nicola asked me if Oliver would be interested in coming along to a school holiday program offered at one of the educational institutes in Siglap (which is 5 min bus ride from our condo). A 75min LEGO Robotics Workshop for only $20 on street deals - Oh YES please!
Nicola's older children Annabel and TJ went with Oliver. I was very happy they were there just in case Oliver needed some extra help.
We got to the workshop, Oliver looked a little bit nervous:
The class was very small, only 10 children or so. And there were 3 friendly looking teenagers there to help the kids. Us mothers weren't too sure how they would run it or what they were going to build etc but said bye bye to the kids and off we went for breakfast and coffee at Starbucks.
Nicola's youngest, Aisla was fast asleep in her buggy so we had kids-free conversation for over an hour. Without being interrupted you can talk so much! It was just lovely :)
When we went back to collect the kids, Oliver was very happy, he made a moving monkey but told me he found it a little difficult to find the pieces because there were so many in the bucket. But he really enjoyed it and asked me if he was going back there again tomorrow too :)
It must have been a great morning for him. He wanted to his LEGOs out this afternoon and spent quite a long time playing with them.
