Games Cooking & Cycles Up to Week 36

The last few weeks have flown by. We have been given a mountain bike for the older children. To solve the problem of them all arguing to have a go I take a stop watch out and time them every 5 Min's so they can swap and all have a go, this tends to work well.

We are in need of another bike and some bike helmets if anyone has any to spare.

Also during the last few weeks in the club we have made some beautiful items with the iron together beads.
We have also watched DVDs`s inc Top Gear for the boys, Finding Nemo and the old school plays,
Having new PC`s as also given us the chance to go back on the computers. We have also played many out door games using the Sainsbury active and games like football, rounders and leg it cricket.
Other balls games include headers and catch, with the added kick and punch which confuses me even more having to remember they mean the opposite ie headers means they have to catch, catch means they have to head ect. This is a very popular game which most of the children join in.
We have also played Simon says, charades and the ship game. This is another popular game especially in the adventure playground were we use the playground props ie climb the rigging (up the cargo net) walk the plank ( balance along the tree trunks ) it a fun came outside.
We took the younger children on a bear hunt recently as the older boys were playing football, we wandered around the playing field on out hunt wading through the mud, chopping down the long grass, swimming the river and much more till we found the bear and had to run back through everything we had gone through on the way to find the bear. The younger children enjoy this game, it keeps them away from the football at a safe distance but we can also keep a watchful eyes on the older boys as they play.
We have also cooked recipe below and bought a floor game of Snakes and Ladders.
