What a full-day at Grand West Pre-Prep looks like…

Our full-days run from 8:30-3:15pm! The transition to the afternoon session starts with lunch, this is a great way for children to develop their social skills, table manners, and to learn to be independent. We kindly ask parents to pack a lunch for their child, please remember we have a NO Nuts and NO Sesame policy, more information on the Parents Portal. Our Grand West class teachers will continue to plan fun activities to extend on each child’s learning and development, however afternoons are all about getting physical and active and led by our specialist Rocket teachers. Early childhood is about discovering new talents and skills and our external teachers will be able to bring out the Serena Williams or Carlos Acosta within.

Our week looks a bit like this…

Mondays: Ball Sports - Playing sports has countless benefits for children. Not only do they spend time outdoors, but it also has a positive impact on their physical development, health and wellbeing. Our Ball Sports program is designed to improve children’s coordination and teamwork through a range of fun activities. We can already hear the tremendous cheer of the fans from the side-lines watching the next Messi or LeBron James!

 

Tuesdays: Games & Skills - Let’s set the foundations…It’s time to work on balance, spatial awareness, core strength and coordination! From Gymnastics to Dodgeball, from Badminton to Volleyball… we got it covered! Balance and coordination are complex and are also one of the main components for success in sports. Our children will have the opportunity to master these skills in an engaging and energetic environment. The Games & Skills club provides a sense of belonging, enabling young children to develop their teamwork, communication, empathy and respect for others.

 

Wednesdays: Dance Crew - Five, six, seven, eight and…Welcome to the highly charged Dance Crew afternoons! Coordination, balance, rhythm and fun defines this club and probably makes it the best art performance in town! We will visit different genres with every tune, learn about different cultures with every note and create dance steps out of thin air as we lose ourselves in the rhythm of music.

 

Thursdays: Center Stage - Lights, camera... action! Our Rocketeers will be taking centre stage each Thursday to boost their confidence and develop lifelong skills! An exciting environment for our little Bafta Nominees to explore different situations, interact with each other and encourage them to perform! This class will help with speech, articulation, presentation, movement and of course, imagination!

And don’t forget about our clubs!

After school clubs are carefully curated and run by our own GW teachers until 4pm. We limit the number to 8 -10 children per club to ensure the group can really immerse into the club. Please note that clubs are only for children who stay already for a full day until 3:15pm. See below to see what is on offer:

Mondays 3-4pm: Mindfulness club - The ultimate zen time to relax, reflect and unwind. Our aim is to empower children through yoga and mindfulness. We strongly believe education is the most powerful way to change the world for the better and mindfulness can play a huge role in this. 

Tuesday 3-4pm: Lego club - Ready, set, LEGO! Children will have loads of fun (and learn a bunch!) as they use LEGO bricks to explore the world of engineering, architecture, robotics, and animation.

Wednesdays 3-4pm: Outdoor club - Come Rain, Hail or Shine we shall be outside! A mix of energetic outdoors activities, games, nature-based craft and team building activities. This club encourages group spirit, friendship and communication whilst learning new skills and having lots of fun and exercise in the fresh air.

Thursdays 3-4pm: Games Club - Play! Ah, the good old friend. After a long day being a Rocketeer, the Games Club is the perfect environment to go back to the basics …Play with friends, get some puzzles up, open some board games and even go around the school on a treasure hunt. Problem solving and building relationships is at the core of this fantastic brain gym!
