Building Blocks of Love: Strengthening Parent–Child Bond – Brick by Brick
20 March 2025
Families at Lakeside Primary came together to build and bond through brick art. Read on to see how creative play brought parents and children closer.
On Thursday 20 March 2025, Lakeside Primary School held a heartwarming workshop entitled Building Blocks of Love: Strengthening Parent-Child Bond – Brick by Brick, in collaboration with Lakeside Parent Support Group (PSG) and Brick Art Interest Group from Taman Jurong. The event aims to strengthen parent-child relationships through creative, hands-on block-building activities.
The session was facilitated by our PSG Chairperson, Mdm Nurhidayah, together with student leaders from the Community Leadership Club. Both the PSG and student leaders were guided by Mr Lee Aik Lam, Brick Art In-Charge from Taman Jurong, who guided them in how to use brick art as a meaningful medium of expression.
During the workshop, families reimagined a refreshed Lakeside Primary School in the spirit of SG60, building structures that reflected their hopes and dreams for the school’s future. The activity not only sparked creativity but also deepened connections between parents and their children through collaborative play and storytelling.
The workshop also provided a valuable platform for new and experienced parents to connect, while student leaders demonstrated empathetic leadership by assisting participants and ensuring an inclusive, joyful experience—reflecting Lakeside’s holistic approach to character development.
Sven Lager, a Primary 2 student, shared, “It was a meaningful experience spending quality time with my mother and my brother from Primary 1 while learning something new together. We’re proud of our creation!”
The completed masterpieces will be displayed in school as part of the SG60 celebrations, showcasing the creativity, collaboration, and strong community spirit of the Lakeside family.
