The school was set to take part in the ‘Billions of Bricks’ learning experience – based on the bestseller by Kurt Cyprus – but was missing the essential tools for the job, including bricks, hard hats and high visibility vests for children.

The rhyming book leads readers through a day in the life of a construction crew, building with bricks and learning number bonds through structure.
