Around 100,000 pieces of Lego were transformed into a village this week as part of a primary school's new project.

Children at the Bishop Alexander L.E.A.D. Academy, Newark, worked together to build the village to learn about the structure of buildings.

The project, organised by Mrs Rachel Bray, science leader at the school, aims to inspire the children on topics in science, technology, engineering and maths.

Deputy head teacher, Beverly Emes said: "Its got the children working together. The older children are encouraging the younger ones which is really nice.

"It's really trying to get children enthusiastic and excited about the topics."

Roger Garside, 70, a Lego expert from Cheshire, taught children how to make a basic house shape, then encouraged them to create their own buildings.

Charlie Harris, 9, said: "We've been able to build what we want and work with different age groups which is what I enjoyed."

Ten-year-old Paige Stephenson said: "I really liked working as a team and learning to trust each other."
