After School Clubs

 

At St. Michael's we think it is very important for children to experience a range of activities outside of the classroom.  We offer a wide variety of after school clubs.  Can you find a club that you would like to join? We are always on the look-out for more help, so if you would like to help out with an existing club, or begin a new club, please see Mrs Macormack at the school office.

 

 

Eco Club: 

The children have transformed a piece of land at the side of the school into a colourful garden and a habitat for wildlife.  Recently, the school has gained the bronze award from Eco-Schools.  At the moment we are developing a pond area and a vegetable patch. We are planting some summer flowering plants as well as looking after the plants we grew last year.  Come and visit the eco garden and enjoy the hard work that the children have put in. Near to our Eco Garden is our Memorial Garden, where we have planted trees in memory of former pupils of St. Michael's who have died while they were young, in tragic circumstances.

 

 

Hockey: 

Year 4, 5 and 6 have been learning to play hockey wih some coaches.  Most children only get the chance to try out this sport at secondary school so we are very lucky to have this available to the children of St. Michael's.  Everyone really enjoys this after school club!

 

Running: 

Mr Foster and Mrs Soulsby take children from Key Stage 2 running at Rainton Meadows at lunch time.  We have some excellent runners at St. Michael's and everybody trains really hard to get into the school running team.  They have competed in lots of races this year and even won some trophies!  Keep an eye out in our news pages to see how the teams do in local races.

 

Football: 

Children from Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 can join our Football Club and try to win a place on the Football Team. With Mr Foster in charge helped by, Brian and Ian, we could teach Roy Keane a thing or two! The boys and girls learn all of the basic skills needed for football and the best players are chosen for the team.  Our football team is doing really well this term, winning the local league.

Gymnastics: 

Year One, Year Two and Year Three have gymnastics lessons with a specialist coach.  The coach is helped by some skilled gymnasts from Year Six. The children have learned some amazing skills and really enjoy this club.

 

 

 

Choir: Choir is a fun and educational club. We sing a lot of songs! At the moment our choir teacher is on holiday but when she gets back it will be all singing.     I.C.T: Mrs Boyle has an ICT club for the children in Years 1 and 2 each Wednesday night after school. This is a good chance to practise your computer skills and have fun too!   Cheerleading: Mrs Wylie runs our Cheerleading Club along with Nicola - our expert coach. We love wearing our HSM cheerleading costumes and using our pom-poms every Tuesday night.   Drama Workshops: Miss Askew organises our Year 5 Drama Workshops after school. We have recently prepared a performance for our parents at St. Robert's school.   Website Club: The website Club meets on alternate Tuesday nights. We update the website and think of new things we can add to it. Miss Horn, Mrs Murray and Miss Rushworth help us out.      Art and Craft: After half-term an Art and Craft Club will be starting, run by Mrs Murray.Any child can attend on a Thursday night.
