After school and holiday club expands Bradley Stoke Wise Owls Club is set to expand in April 2018. Due to popular demand, the after school and holiday club will now be collecting from eight schools in Bradley Stoke and the surrounding area including Bowsland Green, Holy Trinity, Meadowbrook, St Chad’s, St Mary’s, St Michael’s, Stoke Lodge and Baileys Court. Bradley Stoke Wise Owls Club provides a unique service to the local community. Rather than just providing child care for parents who work, a wide range of activities are on offer for the children to take part in after school and during holidays. There are structured arts and crafts sessions, study time and a selection of free choice activities. During the school holidays, we take the children on weekly trips and endeavour to involve our children in local events, groups, activities and charities. The two clubs located at the Jubilee Centre and Baileys Court

Almondsbury school’s ‘Slimefest for charity’
Making money from slime. L-r: Dilly King, Amelia Griffiths and Gabi White
O
ver the past month, some of the students at Almondsbury C of E Primary School have been busy preparing for a monumental fundraising event. Amelia Griffiths, Dilly King, George Wrigley and Gabi White have been creating an impressive amount of potted, colourful slime. Using ingredients bought with the support of others and with their very own pocket money, they have spent many hours of their time, just to support a worthy cause. All of the money raised from selling the slime will be put towards making a sensory room,
so that children with additional needs can benefit from their own purposefully designed space. Leading this forward-thinking idea is the school’s special educational needs coordinator, Mrs Jo Duffy. On the last week of term 4, these inspirational students sold their handmade, creative products outside the school library, where other students were able to purchase them for various prices. Headteacher Mr Smith commented: “We are so proud that the children are using their initiative to support our fundraising efforts in this way.”
