Christmas Concert
with Ms. Suzanne (in English) – KS2 & SSI only
During VR/NVR club the children are invited to work individually on a variety of tasks which encourage them to apply knowledge and skills, predominantly relating to numeracy and literacy, to a wide collection of activities.
The following list, while by no means
exhaustive, gives an idea of some of the activities which may be covered:
– identifying and completing patterns and sequences of numbers, letters and symbols
– cracking codes
– simple algebra
– finding the antonym/synonym
– grouping lists of words according to a given criteria
– crosswords
– ordering words and letters
Each child will work at their own pace from a book of activities with teacher intervention when required.
During each session their book will be checked for misconceptions so that these can be easily corrected.
While VR/NVR can be of help in preparing for entrance examinations there are also many benefits in the
form of developing and encouraging independence, concentration and logical thinking skills in relation to
problem solving.

The club is open to children who have already attended the club last year and to new children, each of them working at their pace and knowledge to produce their own video, exploring all the phases of a real production: production (i.e. ideas), actors, directors and post production (editing).

with Mr. Salah Abraham – @ Holland Park – in English.
We are delighted to announce our new Football club led by the founder and head coach of Dingoes F.C. We see this as a super opportunity for the children given Dingoes’ positive and child-centred approach to coaching and the success of the teams they have developed so far. Dingoes F.C. offers fun football development lessons, where children can enjoy themselves playing the beautiful game in a safe and friendly environment. Their aim is for children to have fun, to enjoy and express themselves on the field and to interact and make friends while they improve their football abilities. Please note that this club will run from 16:00-18:00 and will take place at Holland Park while the sunlight and weather permit this (they will almost certainly move to nearby floodlit pitches as the nights become colder and darker). The children will be escorted by Dingoes’ approved coaches at 16:00 and will be ready to be collected from the park at 18:00 (you will receive confirmation of the exact location nearer the day of the first session).
