More information about activities and clubs

Activities and Clubs Overview

The school runs a variety of activities at lunchtimes and after school which are led by teachers and teaching assistants.  At the end of each term a School Ping form will be sent to parents and carers for you to complete and return with your child's preferences for the following terms clubs.  All the clubs are very popular and we will do our best to ensure children are able to join the clubs requested, however please note that this is not always possible. We will do our best to provide pupils with at least one of their options.

Advanced Coding: Designed to push the boundaries of coding and teach children a new and useful language to work with. It is challenging but children should learn some great skills along the way. 

Advanced Recorders: Drop in club. For those pupils who can play a simple tune like 'hot cross buns' or 'three blind mice' and would like to learn more. Children learn more notes, how to read music and begin to play pieces so that they are able to become part of the school band if they wish.

Construction Club 1-2: A different construction challenge every week and the children will be able to use a range of different materials to complete the challenge!

Football: Regular training sessions after school with occasional fixtures against other local primary schools in the area within the local 'football league'.  The club is open to keen year 3 and 6 children and we encourage both boys and girls to come along.

Netball Club: Regular training sessions on with occasional fixtures against other local primary schools in the area within the 'netball league'. 

School Band: Drop in club. For anyone who can already play an instrument a little and would like to learn some of the songs we sing in assemblies, Harvest festival and at Easter and Christmas etc.

School Newspaper: Drop in club. Newspaper Club provides a brand new opportunity for top writers in years 5 and 6 to report on exciting St Nic's news! Club members will report on events, perform interviews and help to design and edit the paper, which will be published on the school website when ready. Enthusiastic writers who would like to take part should provide Mr Davies with a piece of their writing.

Singing Club: At the start of January 2018 Glee Club and Choir merged to form the......'St Nics Singers'

A chance for those who love singing to stretch their vocal chords! We practice, perform and record a range of popular and traditional songs; with the opportunity to perform to audiences both in and out of school during the year.

Wiggle and Wriggle: A 'drop in' song and dance club for Reception, year 1 and year 2 children. Join us in moving and grooving to popular songs chosen by the children.
