At Kingsthorne, children are given the opportunity to take part in after school clubs. These are run by staff and this half-term the following clubs are available: Warhammer. Pokémon, art, drama, trumpets, and science.
The art club are busy painting the mural for our new library. Fergus in Y6 explained: “We are drawing a picture on the wall; we carefully mix the colours to get the shades right.
“We user different size brushes, small for the detailed parts and bigger for the larger areas. It is a bit of a rush though! We must get it finished next week and there is still a lot to paint!”
Rebecca in Y4 talked about drama club: “We do lots of acting and actions to music. Last week we had to pull a name out of a hat and act like that character named. Names like Woody, Micky Mouse and Sleeping Beauty… Sleeping Beauty was easy – just lying down!”
Nicloe, Y6 gave an insight into the Warhammer club: “We make figures, from plastic kits. The figures can be superheroes, villains, soldiers, and we have even done a space marine! The teacher takes them home and sprays them with white paint.”
She added: “He does this so that when we decorate them the paint doesn’t peel off. We design our own characters and next week we will learn how to play the game!”
