1 Extra Curricular After School Clubs Mr Johnson s Gardening Club continued in full swing again this term. The children were able to continue caring for their already flourishing seedlings. The children are pictured below showing off their wonderful pots. They had put these pots together with plants they had been growing with the help and expertise of Mr Johnson. They were then able to take these home. On the final club night the children had a garden party with tea, sandwiches, cake and squash. They all thoroughly enjoyed this unique club which will return in the Autumn Term. We would like to thank the staff for offering the children such a wide variety of extra curricular activities Ms Claxton continued with Tennis coaching this term teaching the children one of the summers most popular sports. Mrs Atkins and Mrs Ware ran an athletics club, giving the children a chance to practice their skills in the run up to Sports Day and the Mini Youth Games. Mrs Atkins also ran the Cricket club which was on offer to Years 3 & 4, another favourite summer game. We are really looking forward to the new clubs starting in the Autumn, we have Hockey, Tag/ Touch Rugby, Basketball and Gardening which are all very popular. ParentMails have already been sent. If your child is interested in trying any of them, the advice is to sign up early. As space is limited, places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Razzamataz Theatre Schools have had a great first term with us and are looking forward to returning in the Autumn. The children have been learning new musical theatre skills in the theme of summertime. On the last day of Razzamataz the children were given certificates for all their hard work during the term. We will be continuing with the Multisports Clubs run by Longshore Coaching on a Wednesday (Juniors) and Friday (Infants) in the new term. These popular clubs which are open to both the Infant and Junior children. Again, details of how to sign up for these after school clubs have been sent by ParentMail. 6
