- Standby
activities (in case of bad weather): Buddies indoor play area/ video /
Cinema
- Irish
dancing and traditional music sessions alternate all
through the summer: one of the aims is to produce a short
5 minute piece for the performance on
Friday
- Arts and crafts and drama collaborate on
a weekly project to produce a short ten minute piece (play or poetry or
sketch) for the
weekly performance.
Performance (Fridays 11:20-12:00)
Every
Friday there is a short performance for the benefit of the children's
parents between 11:20 and 12:00. It is held in the 'kidz Zone' at the
back of the school. All children participate in this performance even
if they are not doing afternoon activities. Every class rehearses one
song to sing during the morning sessions. Those children who are doing
the afternoon activities can also perform a small section
of an irish jig or a small traditional musical piece; in addition they
can perform a very short sketch or play that they will have rehearsed
in the drama class hopefully using some of the art work they created in
the arts and crafts session.
