We love blocks at The Co-op School. Here are a few articles on why blocks are so cool:

Why are Teachers So Passionate About Blockbuilding?
We thought about what we could do with the amazing HOLLOW BLOCKS we fundraised for last year and the staff room that was being underutilized – we decided to create a fabulous new block room! The classes will get the room for 1 week at a time so that they can have time to plan and build something over a week span. After this they will be encouraged to sketch and photograph their creations to add to the wall of fame.
