£10,000
for After School Activities
We've managed to
raise £10,000 towards running after school physical activities for
the kids and are hoping to have exciting opportunities for every year
group.
This starts with Skiing
at Hillend next term beginning in January for 60 kids from
P5,6,7. A ski instructor visited today to talk to the kids about
getting involved.
Samba
Drumming Club starts from Tuesday 17th
Nov (4 to 5pm): Duncan Place are
starting a free Samba Drumming Club, only 10 places are available.
If
you want to take part - complete beginners are welcome - your class
teacher will provide a form to register interest, register by next
Thursday 12th
Nov. We'll pick names out of a hat to see which lucky kids can
take part. Their long term dream is to take a big Band to the
Notting Hill Carnival in London, maybe in 2011!!!
Samba
drumming is open to: P 4,5,6,7 - only 10 places available.
What Activities Do
You Want and Can You Help?
Next Wednesday we'll
be asking for ideas and volunteers to help with activities at school
pick up time.
As well as ideas and
volunteers we have an ‘After School Activities Group' and if you
want to join and help make things happen, let us know either on Wed
or by e-mail or phone.
Some ideas so far:
Canoeing, Sailing, Golf, Tennis, Yoga for older kids, Taekwondo, Just
Girls Club, Parent and Kids Club, Skatepark, Netball, Drama,
Rockschool, Cooking, Knitting, Chess, Lego, Arts and Craft.
Is there's a club you
could run or help run, if so, let us know.
Transport:
Anyone able help with bus/minibuses for the kids to get to
activities, either with cheap rate or as a driver? We can get you
trained as a driver.
Contributions:
For all clubs we'll be asking for a contribution of between £1 and
£2. For example Skiing will be £2 per session instead of £8 - the
5 weeks ski course will be £10 in total, instead of £40. The Awards
For All Grant has to be spent within the year and so contributions
will help subsidise clubs next year.
Big Thanks for Penny
our Chair of the Parent Council for all her effort in getting us the
money!!
