Activities
At our school we pay attention to (out-of-school) activities every year. These activities are prepared and organized by a working group. These working groups are composed at the beginning of a school-year. Both teachers and parents from the parents’ council are members of the working groups.
The activities organized are:
Sports and games day
Schooltrip
Carnival celebration
St. Nicholas celebration
International Children’s Party
Christmas celebration
Easter celebration
Children’s Books Week
Besides this all groups go on an excursion and there is a cultural offer.
For the groups 1-4 the excursions are near the school e.g. a visit to Genneper Farm, the children’s farm, a restaurant or an autumn walk.
The higher groups go a bit farther away, sometimes on their bikes, sometimes by car, e.g. a visit to a museum or a sniff internship in a business or company.
JINC-stage.
Cultural Education
For all groups there is an offer of culture on which we put a high value. During their school career all children must come into contact with the following aspects: dance, drama, music, visual arts, literature, national heritage, design and visual culture. In this field we cooperate with Cultuurstation (Culture Station); with their expertise and offer we have developed an ongoing line.
After School Activities
Dance and music
For the children of groups 1 and 2 Miss Loes organizes a dance and music activity on Tuesday and Wednesday right after school. This activity is divided in periods of 8 weeks. Parents can register their child per period.
Exercise
Our subject teacher PE takes care of a sports activity once a week. In a period of 6 weeks the children get acquainted with 3 sports which they play actively during 2 weeks.
Vocabulary
We offer the children of groups 1-4 vocabulary lessons. Children that can benefit from extra support in learning the Dutch language, can be registered by the regular teacher. On two days a week there are various volunteers who offer the Dutch language to groups of 3 children in a playful way. They link up with the themes of the school.
