Art Club at Marish engages children in a number of ways. It encourages focus and creates an eye for detail through drawing techniques. It encourages problem solving through modelling, it encourages creativity through storytelling and it encourages teamwork through puppetry. Art Club encourages the children to think for themselves to create something unique and gives them the confidence to explore the world through different lenses. It provides them experiences with different mediums and ideas which they can use transfer to their other school work.

Little Tanks
Little Tanks is a fun after school drama club that aims to build confidence within the children for them to use the skills they develop in their day to day routine. Each session the tutor will carry out activities that will help encourage the children’s confidence as well as working towards a small scale production at the end of the term.
During the last session we like to invite family and friends to see what the children have been doing during the term in the form of a show and we provide props, costumes and music. We also have a presentation at the end where each child will get a treat and two children will be awarded a Little Tanks prize for gaining the most confidence during the term.
Impact on the children’s learning life
Over the past 15 years that Little Tanks has been running we have seen a huge development in the children’s learning and growth in confidence. We have received comments from staff and parents informing us of not only how much children are enjoying the weekly session but also the impact it is having on their everyday life. The confidence that the children are gaining in the sessions is being transferred to their ability to put their hand up in class, talk in front of peers and speak clearly to adults.
Here are some comments to support this:
“Once again, thank you very much. I like your understanding and flexible approach. Mia has been doing Little Tanks since the very beginning and she looks forward to it each week, that says a lot about your after school club. A pat on the back!”
“As I have mentioned in my previous e-mail Megan has in the past struggled with confidence and being able to manage her feelings of anxiety in similar situations which has meant she has pulled out of other ‘clubs’.
I did hope that drama would help with confidence but was still nervous about it!
It appears I needn’t have been. Shani does a brilliant job and is a great tutor and the show yesterday made that apparent, not to mention Megan’s smiles throughout!”
Here are some quotes from the pupils too:
“I like to act”
“I like the teachers”
“It’s fun and the acting is great”
“The Buzzy Bee’s game is my favourite”
“I like doing the ‘Funky Chicken’ activity”
“It engages me and my friends”
“I like the drama as it gets me in the mood for fun and communication”
