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.

A greater focus on stagecraft is placed on term 2 lessons. With children learning teamwork on stage, how to build expression, confidence and focus. The lessons will also involve components of musical theatre. The lessons this semester will involve scripted work, so there will be some lines to be learned along the way. As well as building young actors, the lessons provide excellent support to language development, literacy skills and self confidence. It's a great way for a child to learn to express themselves. The club leader, Rachel. Stewart has extensive experience as a writer, director and coach of children's theatre, as well as being an experienced performer and improviser herself. Rachel founded the Active children's theatre group ten years ago and has since mounted around twenty five children's performances in theatres around Amsterdam and Additionally cast many of her students into 30 short films for Hans Cok productions commissioned by Nordhoff.

Rachel places great emphasis on developing each child, ultimately even writing parts that extend and challenge them, while playing to their strengths. Shows, mostly written by Rachel, are tailored to every child's ability level. Rachel and her production team offer a tailor made approach to children's theatre. Her young energetic production team are all experienced performers who are fully trained by Rachel in her methods and process. They provide excellent coaching support in vocals, dance and chore acting skills and work alongside Rachel to help realize a final production.

Playing chess is not only great fun, but it’s the best brain training you can find. During this course you will enhance your level of concentration, patience, and strategic insight. You will practice in planning (thinking before doing) and build your confidence. All these skills may come in handy in other parts of your life as well.

The chess lessons are provided by Schaakplezier. We have several qualified chess trainers and assistants. During the lessons we use the booklets of the chess-step-method. So what can you expect during a chess-class? We will start with a brief introduction of today’s topic, followed by working in the booklet. After all that theory, it’s time to put that theory into practice: by playing actual games of chess.

We are able to customize each chess lesson to the level of the children participating in the class. This way, the chess lessons will always be exactly challenging enough for students.
