After School Club
Monday to Thursday - Mrs Moore and Mrs Jones
The structure of the sessions are fluid and adaptable, enabling each day to go with the flow of the mood of the children, the weather and other factors, i.e. a focused activity maybe to do with festivals at certain times of the year, which we like all of the children to get involved with if possible.
3.15pm Children arrive at the Library for the club (the location for the after school club).
Between 3.15 & 4.15pm children are given a light tea and drink, to keep them going until they go home.
The children do have the opportunity to play with toys/games in the library if they wish to. During each term, we offer adult focused activities, to coincide with festivals or celebrations during the year. The children are very happy at the club, and love the freedom or free self-chosen play. Some children arrive later to the club, due to activity clubs in and around the school grounds after school. On these days, children that have arrived are usually happy to either, play board games, play on the computers, draw, colour, or make something in a creative way.
When all of the children have arrived (which is usually around 4.15pm) that is when we can go outside to play. If there are no other clubs running, then, weather permitting, including snowy days, the staff will offer to take the children outside either on the school field, trim trail areas, or other areas around the village i.e. the Play Park, or the Millennium Green, in which the children love to go there.
After School Club open times from 3.15pm to 5.30pm (when the school is closed for the night)
Price per child £12.00 per session when booked in and paid in advance or £14.00 if not booked in.
