In playleading a playleaders role is to make sure the children playing the games are in a safe area away from running and football areas and to make sure the children are playing the game correctly and don’t bump into each other.
The equipment we have in KS1includes skipping ropes, soft balls and bucket stilts. In KS2 we have hockey equipment, basketball, tennis, limbo and hoops.
I really like playleading and the role that I have.

In Somerville Primary School on Thursdays after School some children in year 5 and 6 have been going to street dancing.

HISTORY

The clubs began 6 years ago.
They run for 8 - 10 weeks per term.
We have on average 120 - 170 children attending a club each term.

Initially the After School Clubs were funded by Study Support.
The clubs are now funded solely from the school budget.
We are very fortunate to have full support from the Schools Governing body.

AIMS:

To provide opportunities for our children to experience a wide range of activities.
Have you ever worked with an Executive Chef and made your own fresh pasta? Pudding is even better, sponge cake ice cream cones dipped in icing and covered in smarties and sprinkles. Yum! Yum!
To afford opportunities for learning beyond normal school hours and help students to be confident, independent learners.

To provide opportunity for students to use everyday equipment in a way which is not curriculum led.
A lump of clay does not have to be for a Divali lamp.
It can be used for whatever the potter wants it to be.
First and foremost our children to have fun.

The range of clubs we do and have run is varied.
Art, Drama, Dance - country, modern, jazz and our latest Street dance.
Kwik cricket, Gymnastics,

ICT, Journalism, Sewing/craft,
Silk painting, Yoga
Model building, Table tennis, Cookery
Basketball, Cycling, French,
Spanish, High Fives, Football,
Board games, Bookmaking.
Wow! we have some talent at DPPS.

I am looking at running the clubs for 8 weeks this term, week commencing 26th September to week commencing 21st November. If you would be willing to run a club please fill in the slip and return it to me by….

I have collated the requests sent out to children at the end of last term. The most requested clubs are those which we already have. For some of the lesser requested I am looking at incorporating next term

We now have full use of the lower hall after school, I will be able to offer more sport/dance/drama during the week.
