To fill out the form, you will need to enter the full name (First and family name) of your child, select their class from the drop down box, enter a contact email that the club provider will be given, and then select which clubs you would like to sign up for.

The clubs are arranged by day. You do not have to choose a club for each day, and we would recommend a limit to clubs dependent on the age of your child:

Reception– 1 club per week Year 1 & 2– no more than 2 clubs per week Year 3, 4, 5 & 6 – no more than 3 clubs per week

Some clubs are very popular, and in the event of a club reaching its maximum capacity, all children entered afterwards will form the waiting list. If you have not got into a club, you can then arrange for a different club after the initial process has finished, or go on the waiting list in case others drop out.

Once you have finished the selection, please press submit, and then you have completed the process. Please note, if you subsequently decide you would like to change your choices, you must re-submit the entire form before the deadline, but you may then appear further down the waiting list and so may not get in to an oversubscribed club.

Each entry is then filed on our data base, with a time marked entry, so that we will be able to see which children have applied for a club in which order, and can then create club lists fairly.

The deadline for booking clubs and filling in online forms will be MONDAY 19th March at midday. We will then inform parents and children of their club requests by letter before Friday 23rd March. If you have not got into the club of first choice, you will then be able to arrange with Mrs Lankenau to find out which clubs have spaces. Outside club providers levy a charge (detailed in the booklet) - parents are expected to meet the providers after the first session and arrange payment. Please ensure that this is done promptly so that the clubs can run for all. Clubs will start on Monday 16th April, and will run until Friday 6th July. Please note that we are only able to receive bookings for clubs via the website.

Many thanks and best wishes

Eva Lankenau Clubs Coordinator

WEDNESDAY CLUBS

Name of Club: Yoga Provider: Priya Machado

Day of Club: Wednesday INF Y1&2


Cost of club per term: €12 per session (total cost depending on number of sessions run)


Maximum number of children 15 Mountains tumbling into headstands, suddenly converting into speeding cycles. Bridges collapsing

into roaring lions, a cocooned caterpillar turning into beautiful butterflies. These amazing pictures are

nothing but scenes from any normal household. Watch a child and you will know. The natural postures

of a child are yoga asanas, which is the Indian word for ‘postures’. This is what the body is born with

– simple yoga asanas that are part of a child’s body language from the minute he/she is born.

Priya Machado has been teaching yoga since 1988. She studied in various yoga schools in India and

did an International teacher training programme at the Sivananda School of Yoga in Kerala, South

India. She continues to teach yoga to adults and children in Amsterdam.

Priya believes yoga at an early age encourages self-esteem and body awareness with a physical

activity that is non-competitive. Her approach is creative with the use of animated postures and basic

stretching exercises to promote strength, flexibility, coordination and body awareness. Breathing and

visualisation techniques teach kids how to focus, relax and develop self-control. Yoga helps balance

children’s energy and concentration levels.

Yoga postures and the routine can also be developed into games, which make the session more

creative and interesting for children to engage with and gives them the experience of working together

either in pairs or as a group. Priya’s yoga is a fun and the term ends with a performance for the

parents, which the children enjoy preparing for, towards the end of the last few sessions.

It is preferred that parents who register for the yoga club, commit to sending their child from the start,

as the club is run based on the number of registrations in order to make it worth while for the club

provider.

The scheduled number of sessions are 11 - Priya may only be able to do 7 sessions, (this will be

confirmed at the start of the Yoga club); and the rest can be run by Ellen De Marco (a Mum at BSA

and who offered to stand in for Priya last term while she was in India.

Ellen has her 200 RYT training and has been studying yoga for personal benefit, as well as prenatal

and child interests in her CEU's.

Her approach is playful realism, with Sun Salutations and positive mental building.

If you have any questions about the yoga session please send an email to

[email protected] or call 0627221004.

Over the last decade, media apps and filmmaking tools have become a fundamental part of our digital lives. Children are often using screens to learn, play, and socialise. Media literacy is now a basic literacy. In response to these developments, Film Crew Club workshops focus on playful co-creation formats: students work with cameras and iPads to explore animation and live action filmmaking. By making films together, students learn, first hand, how to look at media critically and how to engage with it safely and respectfully. Year 4 -6 students also learn to verify images, assess content for risk, understand how editing tools manipulate imagery and begin to differentiate between authentic and sponsored content. Film Crew Club workshops are also offered as independent workshops throughout the year for kids, teens and adults at other locations.
