Before School Club

The children will be kept in consistent groups:-

• Reception and Year 1
• Year 2 and 3
• Years 4, 5 and 6

Please be aware we no longer have the facilities to give children breakfast. We would ask that children come in having had breakfast at home.

• Reception through to Year 3 will now be in the First Choice building.
• Years 4-6: Please take your child to the Hive, where quiet activities and games will be available for them. The children will be escorted to their classroom at the allotted time.

Activities

Planned activities are on offer every day that include: –

• Craft activities
• Indoor & Outdoor play
• Role Play
• Sports and active play
• Science experiments
• Construction
• Games and Books
• Drawing and Painting

Children are encouraged to participate in these planned activities but also have the option to choose from a variety of other resources, games and activities.

The children are encouraged to be involved in planning what they would like to do in the coming weeks and we endeavour to meet their requests wherever possible.

We have access to all the school grounds and during the summer term, we make the most of the outdoor space and utilise the school field for a range of activities (weather depending).

When planning we also reflect on what the children are learning about at school and where possible plan activities based on the same topics or themes.

We understand this is a time when the children have had a long day at school and want to have fun with their friends and relax. Although there are no expectations for children to do their homework during club hours we provide a quiet space and resources for them to do so, should they wish to.
