Eco-council are pleased to announce that we have made our first eco-brick creation. Keep sending in your eco-bricks… we are beginning to assemble some of these to make quirky furniture items like this fantastic stool…!

GREAT TO SEE THE CHILDREN RUNNING THEIR OWN CLUBS

NEW CLUBS FOR 2019/2020

As we like to keep things fresh with St. Francis, we have developed new and exciting clubs for this term. We try to encourage all children to participate in break-time, lunch-time and/or after school clubs – we always have lots to offer. As well as promoting 30 minutes of daily exercise daily, we want children to learn and develop new skills – skills they don’t even know they have! For those children who are gifted and talented – we want clubs to support their love of learning – growing their skills and enthusiasm.

Our new Eco-warriors

Our new eco-council have been busy making more eco-bricks and have decided that our first project will be to make some stools for our outdoor areas…watch this space!

Eco-Council Project

Our eco-warriors have been trying to think of ways that we can reduce the amount of plastic waste we throw away. They presented an assembly to share ideas including reusing bottles, bags and packed lunch containers. They have decided to start collecting ‘eco-bricks’ (plastic bottles filled with plastic waste) to avoid it going to landfill. We are enjoying cramming as much plastic into bottles as we can! We hope to make some interesting creations with these next half term.

Art Club

Art Club have been working on perspective and vanishing points. They are creating some amazing cartoon-style cityscapes – complete with a variety of crazy monsters!

Our new Lunchtime Clubs

Our new lunchtime clubs are up and running , expertly led by year 5 and 6 children.

Check out all of the exciting things we offer…

CAFOD Club

HARVEST 3ST FRANCIS DAY 038file10HARVEST 2

We meet every Monday in our Cottage and have over half of the school enthusiastically involved! The children plan meetings, take their own minutes and create newsletters for parents of St. Francis. These go over to church so our parishioners are always well informed about what is going on in school!

Glee Club

We’ve started September 2017 with an exciting new club, ‘Glee Club’. Children have the opportunity to sing, dance and act. Each week children participate in a singing warm-up teaching correct technique and develop confidence joining in drama games. We are currently learning an Annie medley which collectively puts together all the things the children learn week to week into an exciting musical performance. The children are super starts and always put in 100% effort every week. Here are a few pictures of an acting game making objects in groups and a few picks of the children learning ‘A Hard Knock Life’.

Cricket and Judo are due to begin soon. Cross country training begins later this half term and gymnastics club will also begin. ‘Wake up, shake up!’ is led by children on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning.

Clubs and extra curricular activities we offer:

Monday:  Tennis before school         Table tennis after school

Tuesday: Change for life  at lunchtime

Fencing

Wednesday: Football and Netball after school     Chess Club at lunch time         Swimming 

Thursday: Mini Dodgeball for infants

Friday:       Choir at lunch time   Band for infants and juniors at lunch time      Music lessons  throughout the morning -brass/woodwind/percussion

Diddy Dribblers

Diddy Dribblers

We have started out Diddy Dribblers football coaching in Key stage 1. We had a great start, and the children learned about dribbling, ball control and played lots of games too. The children were, of course, fantastic. Have a look at the photos  below…

(Any further interest please see Miss Taylor in the office.)

We are entering the final week of our first session with Diddy Dribblers. We have been learning ball skills and playing games and we have been playing mini matches too. The children have come along way in a short time. If you too would like to join this wonderful club for reception and key stage 1 children pleasee see Mrs Taylor in the office.

St. Francis’ Table Tennis Club

Over half the children from Key Stage 2 took part in St Francis’ first ever ‘Table Tennis’ club. The children really enjoyed learning new skills and using the new equipment.
