After School Club:- Yr 3/4

After performing their warm up exercises Mr Portway demonstrated some dribbling and passing techniques. The children then practised these skills in their 'triangle passing drill'. The group were then divided into four teams and two matches where played simultaneously. Mr Portway remarked on how the children had reflected on their performance and how by using their new skills this had helped them to improve their game. 

After School Clubs:- Cookery Yr 5/6

The cookery club are encouraged to be as independent in their work as possible therefore, Mr Borrell has introduced a card system whereby if the card shown on the table is green the children are fine, yellow indicates that they may need some assistance and red that they require urgent assistance. On  the menu this afternoon was Chilli con carne. The chefs began their preparation by gathering their utensils and ingredients. Chopping the onions proved to be a difficult task as a lot of the group suffered from their eyes watering. George asked Mr Borrell if he knew of any ways to prevent this. Although, Mr Borrell had heard of many the strangest was to "stand on one leg whilst you chop". Melisa, Katherine, and Sharna described the aromas in the room as "mouth watering". Sam, Razvan and Kieran agreed that the taste was "delicious" and Molly and Sophie thought the chilli was "tasty". 

After School Clubs:- Hama Beads Yr 3/4/5/6

The Hama Beads club busied themselves this afternoon by firstly choosing which of the patterns they would like to follow and then making sure they collected the corresponding colour beads to create some brilliant and eye catching pieces. Holly explained that her flower had a hole in the top because "that's where I put the string to hang it on my door". 

After School Clubs:- Loom Bands Yr 3/4/5/6

The Loom bands club was a hive of activity this afternoon as the group showed great reciprocity as they worked together to create some fantastic pieces including bananas, bracelets, bees, fishtail and a 'triple single' which Lucy informed me is "a bracelet that has three rows of loom bands". Jaseem researched some new patterns at home which he then shared with the club including a 'star burst'. Matthew decided he would like to attempt a 'slender man' which is a character from a game. 

After School Club:- YR 5/6 Film

This week the Film club have enjoyed watching the film 'Alice in Wonderland'. Their job is to view this through the 'eyes of a film critic'. This means having to be aware and take note of various things including special effects, costume, make up and the film set. Their next task will be to write a review thinking about all aspects of the film and whether consider this to be a close or good interpretation of the book. 

After school club - Cookery Y1&2

This week the children have been making cornflake cakes. Firstly, and most importantly, they had to work together to weigh out the ingredients, which included; 100g cornflakes, 110g chocolate and 50g butter. They  melted the chocolate in the microwave, added the butter until it melted too and mixed together. Next they stirred in the cornflakes and carefully spooned into paper cases. After that they completed a healthy food word search as, although this weeks recipe, as everyone agreed is a tasty treat, last week the children made a healthy fruit salad.
