Greatstone Primary School

Many of the children at Greatstone enjoy attending after school clubs. If you're wondering what they get up to, read on ...

DANCE CLUB

Dance club is for year 3 and 4. It is on Monday after school. Our favourite dance is The Carwash. Miss Booth does dance club. We have lots of fun. We do warm ups, the Mexican wave and different poses and we learn how to do a group dance. We are going to enter a dance in the dance festival at the Leas Cliff Hall.

YEAR 3 & 4 NETBALL CLUB

The Netball club is for year 3 and 4. It is every Wednesday. It starts at just after school and finishes at 4.15. We have fun. We do warm ups. You have to be very active. We play games and we play against each other. I like to be the goal shooter.

TAG RUGBY

Tag rugby is an enjoyable game in which two teams compete; it is a game for boys and girls to play together as a team. It takes place after school on a Wednesday from 3:20 to 4:20 on the school field and is taught by Miss Booth. We often do a skills practice and some tagging practice (which involves pulling a tag off someone's belt) before we play a match. We all find it very enjoyable as we all like working together. We find it a very good chance for all of us to get involved and just be part of a team.

INFANT P.E. CLUB

The Infant PE club is for year 1 and 2. It is after school on a Tuesday and it finishes at 4.15. We do warm ups and we play walking through the jungle. The other game I like is when you have to run up to the hoop and put the beanbags in and then run back and then let the other person do it. The people who run our club are Mrs. Shaw and Mrs. Newman. We have lots of fun!
