Junior Lunchtime Clubs
Our trust has been given the go ahead to start a new lunchtime club in a Junior school this term (yay!) and we’re meeting the deputy Head Teacher this week to discuss the club. We need to take some ideas along to the meeting of what the club is going to look like, so we’d love some feedback from others on what things you do in Junior Lunch Clubs, what material you use etc.
Thanks!
i don’t do junior school ones but if you contact encounter in eastbourne they have quite a few!
We use the SU material specifically written for a lunchtime/afterschool club, its available for free on their website. They provide a 3 year rolling programme with 2/3 activity options for each week. Basically a game, story/topic, then activity. We invite the children through assembly. We have been running it for about 4 years, varies between 6-20 children depending. Can give you more info if you would like.
I think that the website that KP is referring to above is called SchoolsLive and can be found at http://www.schoolslive.org.
Thanks all for your help. We’ve decided to use the SU programme for SUPA clubs from the schoolslive website. Looks great and Deputy Head is happy for us to run the club using the SU material!
That’s great to know. Would be interested to hear how it all works out.
All the best with the clubs. We’re using a lot of drama in our clubs at the moment, and find that kids of all abilities feel part of it
