Each term we offer a range of after school activities. Below are some examples of the activities we offer. Each term parents are sent a Google Form allowing them to sign up for the clubs they want their children to attend.
Gardening Club
Robert Browning’s gardening club was formed alongside Friend’s of Nursery Row. Funding was secured by the Friend’s of Nursery Row to employ a specialist practitioner to lead weekly sessions. One afternoon every week a group of children leave the school in their wellies and head to the local park. Lessons include:
- Seed bombs- planting seeds in clay and dispersing them throughout the park
- Worm hotel – making a wormery within the park and observing the progress
- Wreath and Christmas card making – collecting different types of leaves to make rubbings
- Pruning – learning how to maintain trees and shrubs
Each term we invite parents and carers to take part in practical sessions with their children. We also usually run an after school gardening club for children with rather green fingers, some of the results can be seen around the school grounds.
Cooking Club
Once a week parents and their children attend our cooking club in our community room. This is a chance to cook and share lovely recipes as well as having time to chat and make friends.
