Lots of interesting ideas again this week from the Little Group children, they have planned to make a GIANT cookie, which is the size of a cake.  It looks amazing, some of the children didn't want to bake at the same time, so they had a different choice of colouring and also playing chess. 

Little group have also made paper planes and raced them through the pool room, some were great and flew far, others were more suited to be stunt planes. 

In the end room, Middle and Little group joined up and had another dark disco, lights of and loud music.  

Clare also got out lots of wool on one day to make friendship bands with them and they all had a go at braiding and weaving.

Middle group have been really sporty and played some football in the hall, a very competative dodgeball game and a massive game of capture the flag with big group outside. 

Middle group have also been designing the best robot using a lego person template.  There were some great designs with lots of effort being put in from everyone, with some children taking the pictures home to finish!

Big group have been baking cupcakes and then decorating with butter icing that ended up tasting like angel delight? 

They have also played a loud and competative game of bingo, if that is even possible, and Mr and Mrs with their best friends.  As Thursday was very busy, Ryan decided to play a game of Wallop the Cone in the hall and to also take them to the park and find out what weird things each other can do, like wiggle ears and lick their nose. 

Another fun week!!
​

Back again and now we are back into a normal routine. 

Little Group have kicked things off this week with making some chocolate chip shortbread biscuits to take home and also a teddy bears picnic in the end room where we decorated the biscuits and had snack on the floor. 
They have also made some really nice little pieces of art for the display board in the kitchen.  Each child has made a mini self portrait and Clare has backed them in colourful card. 
Little group have also been to the park and met up with some friends from school who were out there, and for once, it didn't rain!

Middle group have been playing some parachute games in the hall with favourites like cat and mouse.  
They have also made a brilliant New Years Tree to put on tbe window into the kitchen.  It has some of the children's resolutions on there, like "getting better at football" but the best one waws "get more sleep!"
They have also made some scarecrows usng lolly sticks and wrapped in coloured string.  They all made some fantastic scarecrows.  They also joined in with little group to do some den building in the hall with parachutes and plastic scaffold. 
They were most taken with pizza making using tortilla wraps as a base, then they had the option of adding different toppings.  They each made their initials using the toppings to tell them apart. 

Big Group have been world building, given a sheet to design their flag, national flower and animal, monuments or landmarks, uniforms etc, they all really got into it and created some brilliant designs.  It was great to see them all really diving into their imagination. 

They have also been really creative with white tiles and marker pens to create some beautiful artwork.  

There has been a lot of physical activites as usual with stage ball, running games and football in the hall, along with some relaxing times as well with Pool and PS4 and also the A-Z quiz and free drawing. 

Always lots going on at Kids' Club!
​See you all next week. 

Welcome back to a new year at Kids Club! We hope you all had a great time off.

The children have come back full of beans and seem to have settled right back into routine.  
We've had some great sessions already, especially in Little Group which have been mostly planned by one of the children in year 1.  She has added sessions like - Yoga and Paint a Pig!
Some of the more normal sessions, however have been making funny shaped penguins which you can see on the End Room window.  They are all fantastic and unique.  The children have used random shaped black paper and then used white circles and orange beaks complete with googly eyes.  
The children have also been writing and drawing about what they got and did for Christmas and wanted to put all this on stocking shapes. 
Clare has also got the children working together to complete two large pictures using tissue paper.  One, is a large penguin and the other is a snowflake. These will go up as a winter decoration somewhere in the building. 
Little group also wanted to have a party, so we used the day we had pizza for snack, and then had some dancing games in the end room with the light off!  They played Musical Statues, although I have no idea how anyone saw anything!

Middle group have been doing lots of physical activities both outside and in, one of which was floor is lava.  The children used the hall and set up different areas for safety when the Lava call was made. 
They have also played other games like dodgeball and bench ball.  
Michaela has tried her hand at Tattoos using facepaints, and she's done ok...
Joe is going to help next time to avoid dissapointment. 

Big group have done more forfeit games where children can choose a beanboozle challenge to taste. Some of the children need a drink alongside the game, while other actively look for the "fart" flavoured one.
They have also been playing some cube mini games in the hall, often a favourite session as each mini game includes different skills, meaning anyone could win overall. 
Mafia was also played on a busy Tuesday and Ben did a fantastic job of narrating the game. 
Big group have also needed lots running around and so have played games like, first to the bib and capture the flag to get them to burn off some energy, and Friday will open up Pool for them. 

So, lots has happened, and I have probably forgotten something. There are already some sessions planned by the children for next week which they are getting excited about.  We encourage the children to write down ideas on a sheet for the group in the kitchen so that their leaders can put it into the planning.  

Have a great weekend, see you all next week!
