Friendship bracelets are decorative bracelets often given by one person to another as a symbol of friendship. In this club, we will learn how to make various styles and patterns but most are based on the same simple to learn, half-hitch knot. Bracelets can be made from lots of different materials but most commonly wool and strings of embroidery thread. We will learn to make bracelets using an easy to follow instruction booklet and video clips. All threads will be provided - plain, glittery and we may even add some beads!

At the end of a busy day, there's no better way to relax than by watching a film with your friends. At Disney Delights we focus on movies that have the potential to improve well-being. Disney movies often feature strong and independent female characters who can serve as role models for young girls, inspiring them to embrace their own unique qualities and pursue their dreams. These films often convey empowering messages of courage, resilience and self-acceptance, teaching our young ladies valuable life lessons. By watching Disney movies, our girls can develop a sense of self-confidence, learn the importance of empathy and kindness and discover the power of imagination. The films provide a platform for girls to explore their emotions, dreams and aspirations, helping them to develop a positive mindset and a belief in their own abilities. Disney movies also tend to promote themes of friendship, love and the triumph of good over evil, instilling important values that contribute to emotional well-being and a sense of optimism. Disney Delights… more than just a movie club!

Currently three level Chinese Mandarin Clubs have been designed and offered at Godstowe, and they have been running continuously and systematically to suit the girls’ needs and interests, and help achieve their objectives with excitement and enjoyment.

The first level Chinese course is provided in the Beginners Club, where pupils will learn basic Chinese characters and words, including how to write and read them correctly, and speak simple sentences in addition to listening practice. Meanwhile, Chinese culture and simple Chinese grammar will also be taught in the class.

The Intermediate Club is provided as second level, where more complicated words and phrases will be taught, and more speaking practice will be performed. Pupils will also learn how to apply the Chinese grammar to build up different sentences. Background knowledge such as Chinese history and culture will also be introduced and learned.

The highest level course is delivered in the Advanced Club, where we are aiming to improve all language skills significantly for advanced learners such that the pupils in the class will be able to read and write articles and stories, and express their views on different topics clearly. The girls will also learn Chinese literature and expand their knowledge of Chinese culture and history. In addition, comprehensive exercises will be prepared and arranged to consolidate their learning in the class.

To decide which class would best suit a pupil, usually a girl's Chinese level will be assessed and discussed with her parents to choose the right class for her to attend, from which she would be able to make good progress and enjoy learning this beautiful language.
