Children learn best when they are happy, relaxed and being creative, just some of the elements of our perfectly curated lessons. Whilst the children have a recipe to follow, they are encouraged to explore their creativity, identity and artistic freedom which can lead to surprisingly impressive results! Children will be learning to make a variety of recipes from around the world, bread, pasta, pizza, cakes, scones, cookies, sushi and much more!

All ingredients, equipment and aprons will be provided and each week your little Cooking Star will leave the lesson beaming with pride at their own creation. This will open require baking at home and the full recipe and baking instructions will be emailed to all parents each week. As well as being an important life skill, countless studies have shown the long-term health benefits of primary-age cooking education. Children will also develop skills in language and listening, following instructions, fine motor skills, measuring.

Drama Kids (Tuesday 3.20pm-4.30pm)

One of the greatest skills we can give our children is the ability to communicate confidently. At Drama Kids, our students learn to do this while making friends and having fun!

Our imaginative curriculum incorporates role play, improvisation, and structured performance. Each one-hour class for young people from ages 5-18 encourages higher self-esteem, better communication skills and more effective social interactions. They grow in enthusiasm and energy while gaining ongoing confidence.

Our programme provides the opportunity for children to become confident in themselves and develop their social skills and self-awareness. We encourage our pupils to be better at communicating with peers and adults by practicing presentation skills and public speaking, all this while developing their creativity and lateral thinking.

Our pupils learn to enhance concentration and the ability to listen well, improve the use of English language and increase clarity of speech. We encourage them in developing teamwork and leadership skills, helping to widen friendship groups and gaining enthusiasm, energy, and a positive approach to life!

Pottery Club (Thursday 3.20pm-5.00pm)

The club is run by Mrs. Caballero a parent of Pickhurst Junior Academy and a PGCE qualified teacher of Art and Design. Children have fun learning new techniques in hand building, sculpting and decorating clay.

Children work on individual and group pieces as well as work collaboratively to share ideas and experiences. Each half term they explore a different theme or special calendar event, which they use as inspiration for their pottery pieces.

The afterschool pottery club helps to enable children to make visual connections and unravel the possibilities in their work. Children engage with the malleable form of clay, using their natural ability to be creative. They learn through a process of exploration and trial and error. The pottery classes teaches children that if something goes wrong, “don’t worry” just try again in a different way. Therefore children are provided opportunities to develop perseverance and their own creative style with confidence and a feeling of accomplishment.
