We offer three different After School Clubs:

1. Curious Minds Club at Lord Louis Library, Newport

Ages 8 to 12 ; 3:30 – 4:30m Thursdays; free to attend.

The aim of this club is to introduce your curious child to things they never knew they were interested in. This will be a very hands-on club, as we use materials to explore space, shape and time. This term we are looking at shapes, in both two and three dimensions. We will be exploring why some shapes fit together, and some don’t. We will explore different types of symmetry. We will build models to bring home. While having lots of fun, your child will develop their skills in problem solving, deduction and logical reasoning. They will also be opening their minds to the beautiful possibilities of the mathematical world.

2. Bletchley Juniors Codebreaking Club 

This club will introduce your child to ciphers, codebreaking and secret messages. Each week we will explore a different type of cipher. Your child will make visual encoding tools, and decode ciphertexts. We will not use any electronic devices. We will use puzzles and codebreaking games to vary the activities. This club will help your child improve their skills in problem solving, deduction and logical reasoning.

(To avoid confusion, this club does not teach computer coding).

This club runs for two terms.

3. Board Games from Around the World

Introduce your child to strategic board games from around the world, as well as old favourites such as Draughts, Chinese Chequers and Mastermind. Games are grouped into themes to bring out the similarities e.g. capture games; race games; replacement games; memory games; NIM games; 3, 4 or 5 in a row games.
This club will help your child improve their skills in problem solving, abstract thinking, spatial perception, colour and pattern recognition, memory and concentration.

This club can run for at least one academic year.
