Clubs

These classes will continue to build drama skills. The classes offer progression on term one and there will be an additional opportunity for class members to sign up to take part in a production of The three little Pigs, that will take place, in a theatre in Amstelveen, in late June on a weekend. As this will happen outside of the normal lesson time you will be given the opportunity to opt in or out of this activity. Term two will continue to adopt a playful but structured approach to developing a sense of understanding of how to perform and communicate ideas, stories, movement and song to an audience.

Mini Professors is the award winning science program (from the UK), inspiring a new generation through interactive classes in schools, nurseries and in parent and child classes. Our theme tune’s opening line is ‘Science is all around us’, this reflects the ethos of our classes and encourages the children to think about and to explore the world around them. Children have a thirst for knowledge and can understand scientific principles explained in simple terms with fun hands-on experiments in which they can touch, see and hear to help them understand. Natalie van Gelder is owner of WOW Netherlands. At the WOW Family Center in Amsterdam she offers high quality programs for parents and kids.

* We advise you to not register for this course if you have taken this class from September - February this school year. As we will repeat some sessions.

At SEWING CLUB we make a variety of items that teach hand-sewing in a fun and creative way for both girls and boys. We will be embarking on a series of projects that reflect the children’s abilities, from beginners to those with some previous sewing experience. There are many fun projects to choose from that really inspire their creativity. Exploring basic sewing techniques whilst making useful presents, decorative and practical items.
The tactile nature of sewing helps strengthen the child’s hand eye co-ordination and the nature of the sewing projects provide the children with a vehicle for personal and creative expression. I’ll also be encouraging them to continue their work outside of the club so that they develop a productive activity to engage in in their free time to create independent work. All equipment and supplies will be provided.

The students can keep and take home the items they make at the club.

Kate is a well organised, experienced leader and teacher. Kate began her love of making at an early age and as a small child was often found making clothes and rooms/shops/furniture for her dolls rather than 'playing' with them. She continued this love of making and designing through to a BA (hons) degree in fashion and textiles at the University of Westminster. After many years of working in the fashion industry in London Kate now runs a successful children's interiors brand specialising in organic cotton bedding made with her own print designs.

We do painting, drawing, clay work, paper/card work –lots of imaginative work. You can see examples on my website, www.tonychapman-artmusic.com

There is a relaxed atmosphere – making art is fun. I encourage self-expression and freedom in art making – I give a project as a starting point –the most important thing for me is the student’s own interpretation... I‘m always amazed and delighted to see what students come up with. I’ve been running these groups for the last 19 years – at the British School of Amsterdam, ISA and AICS. I have a B.A. Hons Degree in Creative Arts. I am a painter and sculptor. I also teach guitar (privately and at the British School of Amsterdam) and I teach piano(privately). I am English – and have lived in Amsterdam for the last 20 years. I am also a singer/songwriter with my own band, performing in and around Amsterdam. All art materials are provided.
