Wimbledon
To celebrate Wimbledon, we had strawberries and cream (squirty cream!) We also played tennis in the hall and on the Wii. Some of us painted with tennis balls and balls of different textures by throwing them at the paper or rolling them along.
Building Dens!
We had a visit from Deborah and Rosie from Coleg Ceredigion on Thursday, who came to make dens with us. We also made pyramids out of large egg boxes in our outdoor classroom. We had lots of fun and took many pictures! Here are a few...
Father's Day!
Happy Father's Day! The children chose two things they could make for their dad's. Some chose to make a Shirt and tie card, and others made Mug Warmers for dad's coffee or tea! Cerys and William made thank you books filled with pictures of what they like doing with their dads.
New Cupboards!
Thank you Mr Rees for our new cupboards and television. Our things are now stored in our specially made cupboards including a flat screen television. The children love playing the Wii on a big screen!
Minibeasts and Smoothies!
The children made their own minibeasts using paint and sticky back plastic. Last Monday, we experimented with different fruit such as pineapple, banana and blueberries to make our own smoothies. The children decided what fruit and juice we added and how much. Very fun, very messy, very sticky!!
Easter
We've been making Easter Egg holders in the shapes of Rabbits and Chicks in time for our chocolate eggs!
Mother's Day Cards
We made Mother's Day cards on Tuesday. The children collaged their cards with pictures of clothes and shoes and drew themselves with their mums.
Puppets!
The children are making their own puppets. They sew the puppets together and decorate the face with coloured paper and sequins.
Valentine's Day
To celebrate Valentine's Day, we made LOVE cards and love birds. At the end of the week, we decorated photoframes to give to the ones we love!
Egyptian Night
On the 9th of February, we had an Egyptian themed night. We made pyramids, Annubis puppets, Pharoh and Egyptian Gods masks, and dressed each other up as mummies!
Our £3,823 Grant
Thanks to the Big Lottery Fund, the After School Club was rewarded with a £3,823 grant to spend on new sports equipment and play resources. Our first purchase was the Nintendo Wii Console with the Wii Fit Game and Wii Board. We'd like to thank Sally Gilham, the development officer for Clwbiau Plant Cymru, who achieved this grant for us. Needless to say the children are having a great time with it!
Miscellaneous
Here are a mixture of different pictures from After School Club. These are pictures of different activities or what the children have made in Club.
