For the past 2 weeks at Craft Club, we have been working with air dry foam clay. The crafters have made artwork based on a theme of their choice. They have also used the clay to create very unique mirrors!

Little Gardeners Club: Planting Food

In the final session of Little Gardeners Club, the children have planted some strawberry, garlic and lettuce seeds as well as beans. We are hoping these will grow and we will be able to have some for our snack or lunches. The children also decorated the troughs with beautiful pictures to make them stand out. We have had a blast this half term with our club!

Netball Club

This week was our final netball session for this half term and it was fantastic to see how far the children have come. Their netball skills have grown so much and we are now able to work on tactics and switching up positions. We have some new members in netball club who have even decided to join local grass roots teams so that they can progress even further!

KS2 Football Training

Today during football training, the children focused on improving their skills when playing in tight areas. They worked on close control, quick changes of direction, passing and movement to create space, while developing their ability to make quick decisions under pressure. It was a great session focused on keeping possession, staying composed and finding solutions when space is limited.

Keep Fit Club

We had a fantastic time during our final Keep Fit Club session today! The children showed incredible determination as they worked hard to beat their lap scores from last week, truly giving it their absolute best effort. During our session, we discussed the importance of staying active and brainstormed fun ways to keep fit at home. The children had so many great ideas, sharing that they enjoy walking their dogs, riding their bikes, going to dance classes, and going for runs. Although today marked the end of this term's club, I hope they stay inspired and continue to keep fit and active at home!

Little Gardeners Club: Nature Art

Little Gardeners Club had an amazing session today, creating their own nature art. We started the session by collecting natural resources such as leaves and twigs. Then, back in the classroom the children created nature masks and printed leaves using paint. They also used lots of imagination to create some fantastic art pieces such as mermaids, lions and deer using the leaves and twigs in their designs.

Craft Club Trick or Treat Bags

For the past 2 weeks at our after school Craft Club, the children have been creating mixed media trick or treat bags! In week 1 they designed their bag on paper before adding colour with fabric pens. This week, they used felt to create the main design and then added ribbons and beads for extra colour and texture. I wonder how full these will be on 31st October!

Keep Fit Club

Today was an active and high-energy session for Keep Fit Club! Our group made their way over to Jack’s Key, maintaining a great pace with a mix of walking, jogging, and running across the fields and up the hills. To cap off the session, the children challenged themselves on the bike track, with several members running over 10 laps! It was wonderful to see so much enthusiasm and perseverance. The children are already motivated to beat their personal bests next week!
