Imaginative play opens up the child's mind to fantasy, imagination and real life, allowing them to make up their own storylines to act out.
It helps the child to create play situations with simple materials. Let the child learn for themselves on how to explore their environment with activities that develop their imaginative minds.
All afternoon programmes follow the term times.

Unfortunately when a child is taught art at school, they must abide by a strict curriculum. This restricts the child in the development in personal creativity. Working in a classroom on the same project can make the child feel inadequate, as the work is constantly compared to the child sitting next to them. We, on the other hand, will help the child to discover individually what kind of art they excel in, i.e. abstract, blending techniques, portraits, landscapes, shading etc. The course will also cover:

• Learning about colour techniques.
• How to paint from your imagination.
• Learning how to be unique and being proud of your masterpieces.
• Introduction to acrylics and canvas.
• Learning which brush to use for which medium and how to take care of your equipment.
• Learning to be confident in what you paint . Respecting your work and others.
• Painting through music and emotion.
• Relaxation techniques, allowing the child to paint from the heart.

Each Tuesday the children will strip off and enjoy an afternoon of water games and activities. We will be putting the paddling pools out and each child is able to enjoy an afternoon of fun with water pistols, water slides and team games. Bring along your wet suit, sun cream, sun hat and towel and see how wet you can get the teachers.

This takes place on Thursday. Research has shown, early experiences with music set the stage for success in language reading and maths. Children will be able to experience different types of music and sounds, make their own instruments and be introduced to different instruments and the sounds they make. They will also be introduced to different types of dance from different parts of the world. This is a good form of exercise and fun. They will also be able to develop their own creativity by making up their own songs and dances helping them develop confidence and self pride.
