We watched this film about Nathan Sawaya - Legoman.
He said lego is "The toy that never ends". Do you agree or disagree? What other toys could be described liked this?
People said he was "crazy to make the leap" from lawyer to lego artist,especially as this involved a big drop in pay. What do you think?
When does a lego model become art not just lego bricks?
Which is your favourite model?

'It's as easy as... ' by Charlotte
It’s is as easy as meeting One Direction
It is as easy as growing up
And making friends at a new school
Getting good grades in high school
Getting snails to eat apples
Getting a cow to speak
Getting a horse to be your slave
Having a pet pig
Getting my brother to be nice
Getting your enemy to be your tutor
Getting ben to lay a hen
Getting a hen to lay a ben
'The boy who liked to bite' by Josef
I know a boy you likes to bite,
with his razor sharp teeth,
his mouth is like a shark is mouth
He eats mices and dices
but he is still thinner than a piece of rice,
he looks like ices with a fiery hair
He has a sister who likes to drink,
she even drank water from the toilet blow at her school
His name is Crunch Munch Small Boy the 3
'A boy called Ben' by Ben!
Once upon a time there was a boy called ben
he had a pet hen
the hens name was ren
and he has a pen
then ben got his hen and his pen and went to the shop
at the shop he meet a man called ken
after ten minutes
ben went with ren
to the swing
at the swing
there was a guy called bing
he could sing the ring of fire
then bing said bye
and ben said bye
and then ben died
'It's as easy as...' by Zac
It’s as easy as...
It’s as easy as a chicken,
making a yummy dinner.
It’s as easy as a turtle,
being a sprints winner.
It’s as easy as a goat,
driving a car.
It’s as easy as a snake,
opening a jar.
It’s as easy as a toad,
making it rain.
It’s as easy as Harrison,
not being a pain.
'Without you...' by Becca
Without you...
Without you I’m like space with no planets,
without you I’m a body with no bones,
like christmas without santa,
like computer without a keyboard.
If I don’t have you it would be the queen without a crown,
roast pork with no crackling,
don’t leave me because without you I’m just nothing!
If you're not by my side it would be like fireworks with no sparks,
if you’re not by my side it would be the sea without water,
shoes with no souls,
a class that doesn’t learn and
a car without wheels.
So please, please don’t leave me,
or I won’t be anything you see.
'It's as easy as playing cricket' by Christian
Its as easy as playing cricket
or bowling the ball on the wicket.
Its as easy as bowling a ball
or practicing batting in the hall.
Its as easy as holding a bat
or wearing your helmet as a hat.
Its as easy as holding the seam
or bowling the ball like a beam.
Its as easy as wearing a pad
or facing someone that is bowling mad!
Its as easy as playing cricket.
'My Best Friends' by Kate
My best friends
You can trust them even if you fall
you can talk to them and they won’t interrupt
these caring animals don’t care if you wear glasses or braces
They will always be there for you no matter what
they understand what your saying
you have a connection with them them like nothing else
They are my passion
they are my life
they are horses
