Summer holiday club: where we are going!

Our summer holiday club is running from Monday 22 August to Wednesday 7 September 8am to 6pm.  We have a couple of spaces available on the following days: Monday 22, Thursday 25, Friday 26 and Tuesday 30 August as well as Friday 2 and Wednesday 7 September.  If you would like to book a place for your child, please go to the Holiday Club page to download the relevant forms. Here is where we are going and what we are doing each day:

2016 summer holiday club daily trips schedule

Polling Days Thursday 5 May and Thursday 23 June

We are aware that Halstow School and other schools will be closed for Polling day on Thursday 5 May and Thursday 23 June and we have been asked by several parents whether we will be running a holiday club day on those dates.  Should there be sufficient demand from parents we would be happy to run a holiday club day on those dates.  If you would like us to do that, please can you email thehollytreeclub@hotmail.com stating which day(s) you would like and whether you would need from 8am or 9am.  

 

On the Polling Days, we would plan to run our normal holiday club day meeting at The Bridge at 8am for breakfast, or at 9am, then going on a day trip and returning to The Bridge by 3pm.  From 3pm to 6pm we would then run our normal after school club session. The cost for the day is £35 from 9am or £40 from 8am with a 10% sibling discount.  

 

If you don’t require care but your child normally attends the after school club at either The Bridge or The Bell House on Thursdays, you are welcome to drop off your child at The Bridge at 3.30pm to be collected at your usual time.  For our children at Millennium Primary School who attend on Thursdays, we will pick up as usual from Millennium at 3.30pm.

March 2016 newsletter

Our March 2016 newsletter is full of the exciting things the children have been doing at after school club, as well as the fun we had at the National Maritime Museum during our February holiday club.  It also contains lots of information about our upcoming holiday clubs at Easter and during the summer.

December 2015 newsletter

Dear parents and carers,

Please see attached our December 2015 newsletter.  If you would like a paper copy, please let us know.

We are excited to announce our collaboration with the National Maritime Museum (more details in the newsletter).
As a result we propose a two day holiday club during February half term to tie in with this collaboration.  The days will be full of fun activities at the National Maritime Museum on various themes such as Polar Exploration, Pacific Ocean, Pirates and Things that get washed on the shore.  We will follow our usual routine starting at 8am for breakfast, or at 9am at The Bridge, we will spend time at the National Maritime Museum and in Greenwich Park from 9am to 3pm, then we will return to The Bridge at 3pm for arts and crafts, sports and free play inside and outside until 6pm.  The price for the day is £35 from 9am or £40 from 8am.
February half term runs from Monday 15 to Friday 19 February 2016.  If you are interested in your child attending the holiday club, we would like to give you the opportunity to choose which two days would be best for you and your child and we will try to meet your requirements as closely as possible.  The sooner we have your response the better!
Please reply to this email by saying which two days you would prefer out of the following (it might be wise to have a backup couple of days also):
Monday 15 February 2016
Tuesday 16 February 2016
Wednesday 17 February 2016
Thursday 18 February 2016
Friday 19 February 2016.
Wishing you a very happy Christmas!
