Extra-Curricular Clubs and Activities

Here we will be uploading photos and videos of the exciting things the children get up to after school!

Mini-Banksies at Beccles Primary Academy

Mysterious painted chickens have recently been spotted all around Beccles Primary Academy.

After much speculation, we can confirm that this secretive group of artists, calling themselves ‘Mini-Banksies’, have claimed responsibility for these pieces of art.

After school clubs / activities – The Arts

There are a number of arts after school clubs at our school.

Choir / musical theatre club is a free session on a Tuesday for an hour , for Year 3- Year 6. We prepare for a number of yearly choir performances: for the Harvest festival , Christmas light switch on , Beccles Hospital entertaining with Christmas carols and songs at Beccles Hospital , Retirement homes and bringing joy to shoppers at local Supermarkets. We also prepare a Musical Theatre number / song to show to parents / school. This allows our students to work on vocal skill and then apply it in a real setting alongside drama and dance.

On a Thursday we offer Street Dance with local Dance teacher Kate Garwood. Dances are created either over a number of weeks and shared with parents and school. The club is available for all levels of dancer and is free. Kate ensures warm up and warm downs are an integral part of the class. She ensures that the history of the dance style is understood and this translates into the club organising their own colour outfits for each dance. Various props can be used such as light up glow sticks to add another dimension to the dance. We are very lucky to have this ex Disney dancer living and working in Beccles.

There are two Art clubs to accommodate Ks1 and KS2. These clubs are free and Mrs Varley creates the environment to allow the children to explore a number of genres, styles, mediums and resources. The Art club prides itself on offering traditional painting, drawing, collage, construction and craft making. The children use a variety of skills to be successful artists, including listening , exploring and constructing to completion. Days to be confirmed at start of the term.

To apply for any of the clubs via e mail at the start of each term – Autumn, Spring and Summer.
