AFTER SCHOOL CLUBS There have been three clubs running after school this term, gymnastics, bible story and multi-skills. The children have enjoyed these and we would like to ask for feedback so as to help with arranging future clubs. Please see the attached form. Summer Term Many parents have been asking us about clubs for the summer term so that other activities e.g. swimming lessons can be booked in. As a result of opportunities rising, we have rescheduled some of our clubs. Dance and martial arts clubs will take place in the autumn term in the hall when the nights get darker and the weather gets cooler. Whilst the summer is here, we have been lucky enough to organise an Orienteering Club for 6 weeks during the summer term. This will fit with our 'Land and Sea Explorers' Topic for the summer term. We hope this lesser-known activity will make the most of our school grounds and the great British summertime! Orienteering Club will take place on Thursdays from 3.30-4.30 and will be open to children from Y1 to Y6. This will start on Thursday 16th April. Further details will be sent home as soon as possible. THE DEEP Next term our topic will be 'Land and Sea Explorers'. To launch the topic we have arranged a visit to The Deep in Hull for all the children. This will take place on Monday, April 2oth and will be a whole day visit. Please see attached letter and consent form which needs to be returned to school on the first th day back, Tuesday, April 14 . If you require this in a different format, please contact the school office. BADGER WOOD AND KEEPER WOOD The children have been absolutely exceptional this week going above and beyond to realise they had rhythm and rhyme with Claudio Kron, a Brazilian musician, percussionist and composer. He came into school and ended the topic on a high with the children. Everyone was really involved throughout the whole topic and really put their all into the 'Big Idea'. Both classes learnt to play many instruments and an authentic Brazilian dance. It was great to experiment with the different instrument and sounds we could make. The children were very quick to pick up the beat and extend it using their instruments. Dancing...well some hidden talents came out! Everyone did a traditional Brazilian dance, yet when allowed to freestyle we added our very own Heslerton stamp to it! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the 2 days with Claudio and did a fantastic job working throughout the topic and in their topic teams towards the Carnival. Well done everyone!! Please feel free to have a look at Claudio's website to learn more about him as an musician and the work he does around the world. http://www.claudiokron.com GOVERNORS We have a vacancy for a Parent Governor at school, please see attached letter.
