Bridge Club (Years 5-6) – Develop learning skills though play – Playing and learning the game of bridge has been demonstrated to develop not just maths skills but problem-solving and logical reasoning skills in children. Like chess, the strategic nature of the game develops these cross-curricular learning abilities but unlike chess, bridge is a partnership game, so it also develops social skills such as empathetic thinking and all while your child is having a lot of fun.

You can find out more by looking at the website of New Tricks, the registered charity whose founder, Sue Johnson, will be running the club, at www.newtricksschools.org

If you would like your child to join the club, which will run on Tuesdays after school, then it would be a great start if you play card games with them over the summer holidays. Whether or not you are already a card playing family you can get all of the information and guidance you need on the website.  Sue is happy to be contacted (via the ‘Contact Us’ button on the website) to help or discuss.

Dramabones (Years 3-6)

The Dramabones beliefs :

Drama instils life skills.

It allows children to express themselves; think creatively, and boost their empathy and emotional literacy.

It improves voice projection, articulation, fluency of language and confidence with persuasive speech.

We encourage children to work collaboratively, nourishing their imaginations and building their self-esteem in a nurturing setting.

We will develop their confidence by trying new things and taking risks, making new friendships, work as a team, enhance concentration alongside verbal and non-verbal communication and give space to support everyone’s imaginations.

Our curriculum is inclusive and robust; valuing both the drama process and end product.

We are really excited to begin the term and to meet and learn with your children.

 

Rookie Cooks (Years 4-6) – Please note that booking for this club is directly via Rookie Cooks on 7th July not School Money. See the flyer attached to this email for booking information. Come and cook with us every Wednesday in Autumn Term! On the menu … Apple and Blackberry Crumble, Stir Fry, Honey Cake, Samosas, Spooky Halloween Cookies, Five bean Chilli, Handmade chocolates in pretty boxes, Paneer and Sweet Potato Korma … and lots more!

Cooking is fun – especially if you’re between seven and twelve. Things to squeeze, knead, squirt, whisk, slice, grate and dice … and that’s before you get to enjoy the results!

There are so many things kids learn from cookery classes.

They learn to follow recipes, to think ahead, weigh things accurately, chop things evenly and act sensibly around sharp knives and hot stoves.

But they also learn to be creative. They learn when you can improvise with a recipe and when you can’t. They learn to eat things that they think they don’t like (because everything tastes better when you’ve made it yourself).

They learn that good, nutritious food is easy to make and completely delicious, and that working together leads to making new friends.
