Whether playing games or designing and building, the pupils at Rainbow Club are always working together to do something or another. The table football has been a popular addition in Summer 2, along with the jenga blocks and hotwheels tracks which are always being used for something!

The sun has been shining this summer and we have been out and about enjoying ourselves. The playground and field are great spaces for the pupils to have fun and find activities. It's always great to take advantage of the school's space and allow everyone to have fun and active times at Rainbow Club.

Mrs Homes is always looking for something or another that the pupils in Rainbow Club can have a go at making. Boats and dreamcatchers were just two of the amazing crafts that the pupils were creating this half term. We also see a lot of monsters and other fabulous creations being made out of the lego, duplo, Knex and various other construction sets. It's great to see the pupils using their imaginations to make weird and wonderful creations!

# data[].attributes.body
We have had an active summer at Rainbow Club, with football, cricket, netball and multisports all being on offer. The summer sun always makes these clubs a lot more enjoyable - at multisports, the pupils were able to head out on to the field to build their own assault courses, to play boules, and much much more. The netball and cricket clubs have also been a great success with pupils improving week in week out.

Bounce & Beat and Gymnastics have both been hard at work this term. At Bounce & Beat, the pupils put together an extremely impressive dance that some of the staff were able to watch and enjoy. At Gymnastics, the pupils were practicing and developing their skills in jumps, rolls and various other moves. Their progress throughout the year has been incredible to watch!

French, Cookery, Creative Writing, Tech Club and Homework Club have all had a busy summer! At French Club, the pupils opened Le Cafe Francais - where members of staff were invited to order and sample the foods and drinks they had prepared. Cookery Club were also able to prepare and make some lovely dishes, including Greek Salad, Quinoa Tabouli and Easy Cheesecakes.

# data[].attributes.body
KS1&2 have been busy this half term! Yuki-ball is a favourite that we have to play at least once a term! But we have also been using balloons to work on hand-eye coordination and to make games like volleyball a bit more fun and accessible.

# data[].attributes.body
During the Spring term, our young writers have been working on some poems, with the aim of getting them published in a book! The poems could be about anything that the pupils wanted (space seemed to be a very popular theme at Priors Field), and the pupils spent weeks refining and improving upon their work! A huge well done to all of the pupils for the efforts and hard work!

# data[].attributes.body
Our runners have found the Spring weather a bit better for run club. No more cold afternoons with freezing hands and feet! The pupils are still challenging themselves to do more and more laps each week and are improving their pacing and endurance!

# data[].attributes.body
Spring term has seen our Cookery pupils making some more delicious treats to take home and share with their families. Bread & butter pudding, baked carrot & onion bhajis, smiley face pizza and chocolate pear pudding are just some of the dishes that the pupils have all worked together to produce.

# data[].attributes.body
Our dancers have spent this term working on their skills and learning a new routine to perform. Some teachers and some of the pupils at Breakfast Club were lucky enough to see the performance, and it was amazing to see what the pupils had achieved in just a few weeks. Our Gymnasts have also been developing their skills - from headstands to cartwheels and jumps, the progress that the pupils are making is incredible!

# data[].attributes.body
The children have continued to some up with imaginative ways to use the resources at Rainbows this term! We've had some interesting puppet shows, mega marble runs, amazing towers and much much more!

# data[].attributes.body
The games at Rainbow Club always get plenty of use. The pupils will always fill the floor and tables with game after game to play. It always makes for a very interesting and busy tidy up time at the end of the session!

# data[].attributes.body
Spring is here and the pupils have loved getting outside and playing in some slightly warmer weather! We've even had some daily litter pickers, going round and helping to keep the playground clean and tidy.

# data[].attributes.body
Spring is here and the pupils at Rainbow Club have had lots of opportunities to embrace their creativity and craftiness! From Mothers Day cards to Spring animal puppets, a large chunk of the pupils have been making something or another.

# data[].attributes.body
We have a lot of dedicated pupils who like to put the time and effort in every Wednesday to get their homework done. Some of the pupils also like to practice their spellings and times tables before they get rewarded with a bit of free time on the computers before the end of the session.

# data[].attributes.body
The floors and tables at Rainbow Club are always full of some incredible and imaginative creations that the pupils have often spent a lot of time working on together. It's great to watch them figure out different ways to use the equipment and resources here and do something a bit different!

# data[].attributes.body
The Summer/start of Autumn is always a great opportunity to get the pupils active outdoors and playing together. Although the evenings have started to draw in, we were lucky enough to be treated to an afternoon of snow where everyone had heaps of fun building snowmen & throwing snowballs!

# data[].attributes.body
There is one table in Rainbow Club that is always busy, no matter the time of day! Many of our pupils love to sit down, relax, have a chat and calmly colour in some of the different designs from our folders. Whether it be woodland animals, Halloween or Christmas, we're constantly having to replace the stashes of pictures we have ready for everyone. We would like to try and do more at Rainbow Club with their creations next half term, but for now, we hope your grateful for all of the sheets of paper that make their way home, ready to be plastered over your walls & fridges!

# data[].attributes.body
We like to think that Rainbow Club is a place where pupils can really relax and have fun following their days at school. Some of our pupils are here for a very long time and we try to make sure we have games and activities that suit everyone! Although there can be challenges at times, it's always so special to watch pupils coming together, have fun and make new friends.

# data[].attributes.body
It's great to have all of our older pupils back at Rainbow Club after the Summer break! It's wonderful to watch everyone welcome our new Reception pupils to help them settle in nice and quick. We've had pupils from across the years taking part in Karaoke, dressing up and playing games/interacting with our huge map of the world. What a great start to the year this Autumn has been!

# data[].attributes.body
Mrs Homes has been busy this Autumn, searching for some great arts and crafts ideas that pupils of all ages can take part at Rainbow Club. We've had pupils: use leaves to make woodland animals; having fun using playdough and paint; building some amazing creations in junk modelling; make & design some lovely Christmas cards and much, much more!

# data[].attributes.body
Our overarching theme this year on our display is "Around the World". We've tried to get as much input from pupils as possible by:

Finding out some recent places they'd been on holiday & what they enjoyed about them.

Sharing different traditions that countries practice around the world when celebrating Christmas, and finding out some of the traditions that our pupils & their families practice.

Asking pupils to research some facts about the 7 Wonders of the World.

We also love to display some of the fantastic work & creations that some of the Rainbow Club members have produced.

# data[].attributes.body
For most of Autumn1, Running Club have been out completing laps on the field and playing some different games in order to improve their fitness. The horrible weather in Autumn2 has seen us come inside and the pupils have been taking part in more of a Bootcamp style session that includes the battle ropes, leg raises, pull-ups, commando crawls and many more exercises to help continue to build resilience & fitness!

# data[].attributes.body
We've had a great start to the year with Go4Goals & Y5/6 Football! Despite the recent cold and wet weather, the footballers have been battling on and having fun working on their skills and playing matches. It's great to see so many boy and girls across the school taking part and hopefully gaining a love for football that will last a lifetime!

# data[].attributes.body
The KS1 & KS2 pupils at MultiSkills/Sports have been extremely active this Autumn! The apparatus, Yuki-Ball and parachute games are always sessions that the pupils love and engage in well. We've also introduced some new games that most of the pupils hadn't tried before; Quidditch & Hungry Hippos were huge hits!

# data[].attributes.body
Cookery Club have been busy preparing a mixture of tasty treats this Autumn to bring home and (hopefully) share with their loved ones! Some of the dishes they've made this term include pear & chocolate chip crumble, cheese scones, coronation chicken on brown bread and healthy breakfast muffins. On the last week of term, they've had a great time decorating some ginger Christmas biscuits.

We hope you've enjoyed tucking in to some of their marvellous creations!

# data[].attributes.body
French Club have been busy learning about the weather and Christmas this Autumn. The children were able to ask each other what the weather is like - 'Quel temps fait-il?' and answer correctly. They played different games including matching pictures to words, 'Le jeu du pendu' and different counting games. One of the favourites was a circle counting elimination game. They have also been learning about Christmas in France and playing games using French Christmas vocabulary.

# data[].attributes.body
Our Tech Club pupils have been working hard this half term. Some of the activities they have been doing include:

Recording video -  experimenting with using a green screen

Designing and programming their own battling tops using Lego Education software

Introducing programming constructs using both Lightbot and RapidRouter

Creating programs and games using Scratch software

If you are booking your child in for After School Session 2 as an ad hoc, please try and do so before 10am on the same day where possible. We have to confirm snack numbers with dietary requirements before 10am, and therefore we can't guarantee a snack for any pupils booked in after this time.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a reminder to please keep all of your contact information and your child's medical/dietary information up to date on your OnSide account. We regularly use the information within OnSide at snack times or when attempting to contact parents/guardians/family, so it is important that the information we have access to is accurate and up to date.

# data[].attributes.body
Our dedicated runners have been able to enjoy the weather this Summer after a tough Autumn and Spring! The pupils have been taking part in some different challenges on the field and around the track to help improve both their long distance and sprinting. An hour is a long time to be running, so the pupils normally finish each session with a bit of free time, which usually means a bit of football!

# data[].attributes.body
One of the greatest things to see in Rainbow Club is when new friendships are made and develop over time. Priors Field is a really special school where friendships between different year groups are encouraged and made regularly. It helps create a warm, inclusive environment that we hope makes everyone feel comfortable, safe and valued when they're here.

# data[].attributes.body
Our big mixture of Jenga blocks are very rarely used to actually play Jenga! The pupils love using them, along with numerous other things, to make lots of different sculptures and amazing creations. The effort, patience and teamwork the pupils show to pull these off is always incredible to watch!

# data[].attributes.body
The Summer has seen Rainbow Club gain some new games and furniture. Some have been new purchases, and some have been kindly donated by staff and parents. We've been able to give KS1 their own area of the Rainbow room using the new shop, whilst our KS2 pupils have loved some of the old fashioned games we have received. Thank you Mr Wootton and to all of the parents who have donated games and spare equipment this year! It is greatly appreciated.

# data[].attributes.body
The best part about the Summer is being able to constantly get the pupils out, active and enjoying the fresh air. We have plenty of outdoor equipment that the pupils love to get out at every opportunity. It's great to see pupils from across the school all playing together and having fun.

# data[].attributes.body
We've had a slight change in our display and have started to use the space in our room to really encourage a positive mindset at Rainbow Club. We've started to highlight keywords from the school vision and reward pupils for displaying those behaviours or embodying the words. We've also moved the furniture around to create some reading corners where pupils can take a bit of time to read or have some time to sit and relax.

# data[].attributes.body
One of Mrs Homes' many qualities at Rainbow Club is her newfound love of crafts! She is always thinking of different ideas that fit our themes for the pupils to create, build and have fun with. This term, the pupils have made some different animals and decorations, and have even a "make your own ice cream" station!

# data[].attributes.body
Pupils from all across the school love getting active in the mornings. The Bounce & Beat and Gymnastics clubs are extremely popular throughout all the year groups and the pupils are always eagerly waiting for 8am so they can start!

# data[].attributes.body
The Summer is always an amazing time for sport, especially when we're able to make use of the school field. This term, we've been looking at a bit of athletics - mainly, some of the events that we don't get chance to look at during PE. The pupils have had lots of fun looking at the hammer throw, discus and some sack and three-legged races. Having the school hall to use for some gymnastics or parachute games is also useful with the unpredictable British weather!

# data[].attributes.body
The perfect weather for football! Our pupils from Y1-6 have been enjoying the summer football, in fields that are no longer flooded or frozen! We love seeing everyone in a mixture of different kits and shirts getting stuck in and developing their football skills (especially when it's a Manchester United kit)!

# data[].attributes.body
Our Creative Writing group have been developing their story writing this Summer. They have been working on writing chapter stories about a chosen subject and we've had some incredible and imaginative results! We've had a story about a girl who saved a duck from a golden squid, and a story about a boy who had contact with the spirit world!

# data[].attributes.body
Cookery Club have been serving up some more tasty dishes this Summer! Chocolate orange marble cakes, an epic summer salad, sticky toffee pudding and pizza crumpets are just some of the treats that the pupils have enjoyed making this term. We would also like to say a huge thank you Miss Wilkinson, who has been a huge help at Cookery this year and is unfortunately leaving us this Summer for University. The children have really benefitted from her support each week and the enthusiasm that she and Mrs Homes have shown to the club has been amazing!

# data[].attributes.body
During the Summer term, our French pupils have been looking at celebrations and sports in France. They've learnt how to express their opinions using extended sentences and explain why they like or don't like different sports. The group have made some fantastic posters to display all the activities that they enjoy and take part in.

Some of our pupils have been working with Mrs Homes to make some wonderful Eater treats whilst at Rainbow Club. They had the chance to make some Easter bunnies out of cotton wool and pipe cleaners, and a basket ready for their Easter Egg Hunts over the holidays!

# data[].attributes.body
After finishing off the F1 Project in Spring 1, we have been enthusiastically developing our programming skills by having a go at using the Python programming language.

We've also had great fun creating our own reaction timers out of cardboard, tin foil and wires which we then programmed and attached to a BBC micro:bit to record times and discover who had the quickest reactions.

Next term, we are planning on re-creating our very own version of the school's favourite computer game "Geometry Dash" using the Scratch programming environment!

# data[].attributes.body
The pupils have been having lots of fun at the before and after school club this Spring! When we haven't been able to head out onto the playground, we have been inside playing some games and building some amazing creations. Some of the new games in Rainbow Club have been huge hits, such as Hive, Shut the Box and Fishing Frenzy!

# data[].attributes.body
This Spring term in Gymnastics, the pupils have been developing their skills and practicing a number of different techniques and movements. Chloe has been really impressed with how much the pupils are progressing and gaining confidence in their ability. Although it can be tricky having such a wide range of ages, KS1 really benefit from watching and learning from some of the older and enthusiastic KS2 pupils.

# data[].attributes.body
Bounce & Beat has the whole school rocking on a Friday morning! They have been working on a number of different routines this term using a huge range of music, including classical and modern pop. The pupils were also given chances to work on their choreography and often made up their own routines to perform to the rest of the group.

# data[].attributes.body
It has been a very wet Spring, and far from ideal footballing weather (not that you could tell from the photos)! That doesn't seem to effect the pupils at Priors Field, who are always desperate to head outside. Both Y5&6 Football and Go4Goals have been getting a bit wet and muddy this term - sorry to all the parents! The footballers have had lots of fun taking part in some drills and matches throughout the Spring. At Y5&6 Football, the pupils have responded well to the matches - we often try to implement rules/challenges that encourage them to work more as a team and communicate better, which seems to have worked well during the final weeks of Spring.

# data[].attributes.body
Cookery club have been making some tasty treats again this half term! Some of the favourites included fruit scones, coronation chicken and chocolate chip muffins. We hope that the pupils were kind enough to share their amazing meals once they got home!

# data[].attributes.body
The pupils in Creative Writing have been taking part in some amazing tasks this Spring! Firstly, the pupils spent time working in pairs and threes to create some comedy stories. They were given different story cards to use as inspiration and basis to develop their stories around. They have also been looking at Haiku poems about different themes, such as Spring and Easter. Mrs Folliot is incredibly impressed with everyone in the group and she's really proud of how all of the pupils' skills and constantly progressing.

# data[].attributes.body
The main aim at MultiSports is to get the pupils having fun whilst being active, but to coincide with our theme of 'Growing' this Easter term, we've also been playing games that develop everyone's sporting characteristics and qualities. In particular, we've looked at trying to build our teamwork, communication, perseverance, along with the actual sporting (accuracy, speed, agility, coordination) that are being worked on too.

# data[].attributes.body
This term, the children have learnt about the weather in French. They have been talking about the different weather conditions and questioning each other "Quel temps fait-il'? (What's the weather like?). They have been playing different games different games including 'get 4 in a row', Kahoot! and card games to help with their learning.

After that, they focused on adjectives in French and made amazing books for Mother's Day, adding all of the words they had learnt.

They also learnt about a special day, 'Le poisson d'avril', and all the Easter traditions in France.

# data[].attributes.body
Here are the amazing displays that our pupils have contributed towards. They started the Spring by making some beautiful flowers and looking at lots of different animals and minibeasts. Towards the end of the Spring term, they have been thinking about their own dreams and aspirations for when they grow up.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you to Mrs Homes for all of her amazing craft ideas this term. We have been looking at the theme of "Growing", in terms of both nature and personal growth. The pupils have made incredible contributions to our display- our walls are now full of flowers and minibeasts!

Throughout the Autumn term, pupils have been taking part in a number of drills and games that are aimed at developing their ABC's (agility, balance and coordination). During the Aut2 term, they have been improving our ball skills with some tennis drills, and they've shown some amazing creativity and imagination whilst using the apparatus.

When the weather allows, we always try to get the pupils outside and having fun on the playground or with the play equipment. Pupils in both the KS1 and KS2 areas always find plenty to do when the rain keeps us indoors!

During the Autumn term, we have unfortunately had a huge increase in late pickups, especially from session 1 and 2.

We have tried to be lenient as much as possible and we do understand there are genuine circumstances that cause this, but any late pickups have an impact on our ability to properly staff the next session at Rainbow Club. Starting from Friday 1st December, we will be charging for the next session if parents are late by 5 minutes or more.

# data[].attributes.body
Both Go4Goals and Y5&6 Football have had to endure some horrible weather this Autumn term. Despite the odd cold downpour and dark afternoon, the pupils have had a great time playing football together! Each week, they tend to focus on a few activities and drills to start with before moving onto some matches to finish the session. We're keeping our fingers crossed for dry and warm Spring!

# data[].attributes.body
The pupils have had a great time at Bounce & Beat this term! Each week they have been practising and developing a group routine to the start of Taylor Swift - Cruel Summer, whilst also working on some individual moves and routines. The pupils all rush to the hall once they see their instructor arrives and can't wait to get started each week!

The Year 5 pupils have had a great but busy start to F1 Club. They have been working on their team portfolios and have now all finished their logos. All of the teams have also made Christmas boxes that have been filled with chocolate in order to sell and raise money for their projects. In terms of car design, the teams have researched aerodynamics and looked at the impact that different designs may have on the speed of their cars.
