Breakfast Club
We hope that the breakfast we provide will form part of each child's balanced diet.
We offer cereals such as Weetabix, Coco pops and Cheerios. Toast, butter and jam are also available.
We have television programs showing on the big screen and and an iPad on each table to play games. There is a range of board games and art activities on offer too.
After School Club
We try to have this outside if the weather is fine so there is room to play organised games including football. We also have creative tasks for those that prefer quieter activities.
If we are indoor then we show programs from CBBC iPlayer and make sure there is a variety of things to do like art & crafts, iPad and board games.
We try to make sure that the children avoid mixing the pods so running games aren't possible in the hall. This is why we try to be outside whenever we can.
