Clubs

Tuesday  Drama club at South Campus builds strong foundations in acting, musical theatre and stagecraft. This term, students will work on developing their core performance skills by bringing a play from the page to the stage.   In term two, the children work on a scripted production of Mother Goose. The show is a musical, which explores what happens to kindly mother Goose when her goose one day lays a golden egg.        

The play tracks her shift in values as she becomes increasingly obsessed by materialism, before rediscovering her core values as a kind hearted and family orientated woman. Term two is intended as a progression from the lessons learned in term one and the children will have the opportunity to perform the show in a theatre in June. As the performance falls outside the normal lesson times listed, there is a small additional cost for theatre tickets and the dress rehearsal to cover theatre hire and costumes for those children joining the final performance. For more information contact Rachel Stewart.

The club leader, Rachel. Stewart has extensive experience as a writer, director and coach of children's theatre,  she is also a seasoned performer and improviser herself. Rachel founded the Active children's theatre group 11  years ago and has since mounted around thirty children's performances in theatres around Amsterdam. Rachel places great emphasis on developing each child, ultimately even writing parts that extend and challenge them, while playing to their strengths. The Shows that the children perform in term 2, are mostly written by Rachel, and are tailored to every child's ability level. Rachel and her production team offer a tailor made approach to children's theatre.  

If you have any questions about   Drama and your child please contact  Rachel Stewart.

Always wanted to learn the best game in the world? Join the chess club!

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.

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.

The yoga club is a group with the characteristic of being small, just to be able to give the right attention to every child. In a playful way, the children learn the various possible movements of the body and the yoga poses.

In the classes the imagination of children is stimulated sometimes by short readings, to which they can respond and interact with. Other times it is with different images, colors or music. From standing to sitting, back and forward-bending, inverted, till we reach some restful moments in Savasana. Practicing yoga improves their concentration and on a physical level they get strength, coordination and flexibility. During the process of this course, the children become aware of their bodies, the surrounding space and learn to direct their attention.
