For children of all ages, this is a fun session that will include drama, song and dance in relaxed and inclusive activities for all abilities. This session is with Katie.
3pm - 4pm - Art
For art we are splitting in to two groups. Please book by choosing the group your child would like to mostly be in. There may be times, for example when one group is finishing a project, when we move children about for an odd session. Also if it becomes apparent that a child isn’t in the appropriate group we reserve the right to swap them over, and will let you know if this is the case.
Art 1 - Art with Lisa, looking in depth at different techniques and medium to create detailed pieces of art - great for older children who want to improve their art skills and perhaps prepare for further art study.
Art 2 - Art with Katie, working on a different project or with a different medium each week, sometimes looking at different artists and taking inspiration from various sources. Great for those who want to create projects using inspiration and their imagination.
Lunch
There is time for lunch 12:30pm to 1pm. Children taking part in the magazine group are welcome to finish their lunch in the session if they need to. Please ask your children to tidy all their lunch things away and pick up any dropped food etc.
General info
If you are booking for more than one child then we are able to offer you a 5% discount. Use code Homeedtues2+ at checkout for this (you will need to book each session separately). If you currently receive benefits and will struggle to afford for your child to take part in the groups please get in touch as we are able to offer a discounted place.
If you haven’t been to groups at The Place Stamford before and would like to come for a trial session before booking please get in touch. We are not usually able to refund sessions missed.
Children are welcome to stay between sessions and play in our rooms - we have a wide selection of games and toys, or of course they are welcome to bring their own activities. You are usually welcome to leave children with us during their lessons so long as you remain contactable - we will ask you to come in or to stay if your child needs you, or you are welcome to stay onsite with your child. For children younger than 11 we ask that you are on site with your child between lessons and take responsibility for ensuring that your child gets to their lessons, (unless by prior agreement). We have a very busy day with lots of families taking part so the teachers and shop staff are not able to take responsibility for other children. We also ask that you ensure your child clears up after themselves before they leave.
For new families we have a guidance and expectations sheet that we will ask you and your child to agree to when you first join us.
