After. School clubs:- Art & Crafts year Reception

Reception

As the Art & Crafts clubs have always proved to be so very popular, it was decided to have two clubs running each week. This afternoon it was the turn of the reception children, who were keen to use their fantastic listening skills to follow Miss Goodings instructions on how to make ' pipe cleaner people'. Concentration, good fine motor skills & hand eye coordination were essential for this. The children had great fun and were extremely pleased with their results.

As usual the energy and enthusiasm shown by the year 1 and 2 children was immense. As the football club kicked off for the summer term it was great to see some new players having been signed for this term. The focus for this afternoon was to teach individuals the importance of how to play as a team. A roll on roll off program was used, also the small goals were used which is great for practising accuracy.
