We are delighted to confirm that the Extended School Club is open. This includes Breakfast Club from 7:30am, After School Club from 3:15pm and a selection of Enrichment Clubs.
The clubs are available for all children throughout the school including our youngest children in Little Gems. In line with government guidelines to reduce the risk of infection, we have organised children into consistent small Phase or Key Stage bubbles depending on their year. (I.e Years 5 and 6 are 1 bubble and Years 3 & 4 another and so forth).
We have a wide range of games and activities to make sure every child has a fun and memorable experience. Many of these can take place outside and we actively minimise the use of shared resources.
We have timetabled activities each day such as clay and balloon modelling, sewing, arts and crafts as well as outside play activities. Bingo happens in all key stages on various nights of the week. We also run competitions (theme related) throughout the year so no doubt there will be a Spring or Easter themed competition for the children to look forward to. There is a supervised study area equipped with computers as well as a separate quiet room for reading and playing quiet games.
Child led activities mean if a child requests another activity, we will accommodate wherever possible and depending on resources available. Children have organised cooking events and supporting younger children as well as designing their own games and art clubs.
As always, there will also be plenty of time for free play, and we will be encouraging children to be outside as much as possible. When inside staff will ensure everyone is spread out to minimise contact. This is the example timetable for this term:
