After School Learning
KS1: Board Games: Summer 2: Mrs Duryea and Miss Buckley
Thursday 13th June
Today has been our first session and what a wonderful time we’ve had!
The children worked really well in a team to work together to play Tic-Tac-Toe.
We discovered how important it was to keep communicating with our team mates to work out the best strategies.
For our next session, the children will need to think of two different objects they would like on their own board.
Photos to follow.

After School Learning (Sports)
‘After School Learning’ called Pocket Rockets has started this term. This is to give children the chance to experience and learn sports whilst building their confidence, playing as part of a team, further improving their fitness, skills and techniques.
This week was based on team building games and having fun!

We always ensure that our 'After-School Learning' provision is carefully selected to ensure a broad range of opportunities are provided which enhance and enrich the learning experiences of our pupils.
'After-School Learning' carries the same high expectations we have of any learning during the 'normal' school day and supports our fundamental vision and values.
Previous breadth encompasses a host of curriculum subjects including PE, Dance, Art and Design, Drama, Spanish, Media Studies, Philosophy - (to name a few).
Board Games after school learning: Aut 2 2023
KS1 Board Games: Mrs Duryea and Miss Buckley
KS1 have been learning how to play board games. We have discovered that a board game needs certain things such as instructions. We had a variety of games to play and ensured we had read the instructions first in order to play them successfully. Throughout our board game after school club learning, the children will have the chance to design their own board game.
Thursday 30th November
Mrs Duryea and Miss Buckley told the children they are going to have the opportunity to create their own Snakes and Ladders game.
The children spoke about what objects we will need in order to play the game. Each child decided which animal they would like to have on their own game. For example Dinosaur and Ladders.
We cannot wait to see the final result.
