Smart Clubs… The activities, as with all of the Smart Clubs courses, are designed around Smart Learning. What this means in a nutshell, is to provide a varied and challenging activity programme in a non-threatening environment that is fun, playful, and engaging.
In such an environment, children will gain confidence, and develop a sense of achievement and a positive self-concept.
Children are encouraged to try lots of new activities so that they can step out of their comfort zone, and be stretched and challenged. At the same time, children have the support system around them to nurture and encourage their experimentation.
Activity Clubs take place during breakfast, lunchtime and after-school.
Children are offered a variety of learning experiences through fun and challenging games.
