ASC April 08 Round-Up
| Hello. Welcome to Princess Road After School Club’s monthly Round-Up. Another very busy month has passed us by and we find ourselves at the beginning of May. With April came a fun packed Easter Holiday, which involved lots of egg-citing activities! Week one of our Holiday brought some nice weather, of which we took great advantage, taking walks through The Fairy Glen and football games at Min Y Don Park! We held a belated Easter Egg hunt in the club gardens, made cards, bunnies, Easter baskets, Bird Nest Cakes and much more! We also found time for stories, games and films! Week two followed with a different theme for each day, including Cowboys & Indians, Super Heroes, Ugly Bugs, Story Characters and, our all time favourite, Pyjama Party!! Children and Staff dressed up each day and took part in various activities including Story Writing, Cake Making, Making a Super Hero T-Shirt, Face Painting and Model Making. We rounded the week off on Friday with a firm favourite with the children – Pyjama Party was enjoyed by everyone, with a special treat of Pizza and Chips for lunch whilst watching Hairspray on TV!!!! The children had a truly lovely time and were as well behaved as always! Back to School saw us looking at OCCUPATIONS as our theme. The children made a big display of various people who help us in our day-to-day lives, including Medical Staff, Emergency Services and our Armed Forces. We were very lucky and, honoured, to welcome Carl Barlow back from his tour of duty in Afghanistan with the Royal Marines. He generously gave up his afternoon to join us to talk to the children about the peacekeeping work he is involved with. He brought with him an amazing assortment of kit, uniform and photos, which the children could look at, try on and ask questions about. The children spent the afternoon learning about the good work our soldiers do for the villages caught up in the war, such as providing fresh water pumps, rebuilding bridges and educating villagers on how to grow crops to support themselves and their families. We would like to say a HUGE Thank You to Carl for his time and wish him all the best for his next tour! We found it really difficult to pick a Super Star Achiever this month as all the children have been working really hard to promote safe and happy play. Our focus for the next month is reviewing our club rules and our target is to have all the children aware of them and understand how our “Great to be Green” policy works. We will update you on this as it gets up and running. Our theme for May is SCIENCE, which we will be taking mobile!! We will be looking at the environment around us both indoors and outdoors to discover where science is hiding in our every day lives. That just about sums up April for you, so we leave you with a reminder that May half term holiday is almost upon us and bookings are now being taken. From us all at Princess Road, Thank You for your continued support. Miss Tracy, Miss Natalie, Miss Becky, Mr Ben, & Mr Dave. |
