Block 8 Academy Before and After School Care Focus - Tuesday
Outdoor Playtime - Playground stops at Moody Elementary School, Kyle Park and Rocky Point Park are part of our planned after school program. These playgrounds have great equipment and ample room for the students to run, climb, play tag, soccer or just enjoy the park! Other days will feature walks along the lower trails near Port Moody Arts Centre.
The Power of the Word We - This activity is a hands-on learning opportunity working on community projects and learning social responsibility. This year we will likely focus on Noons Creek Fish Hatchery and other charities in and around our community. Children will experience the feeling of helping, will participate in the steps necessary to take action. In the process, students will learn about the various needs of children and families right in our area.
GIDE (Get It Done Early) - Homework Club - 5:15pm We know that having to get homework completed in the evenings adds additional stress to families. So we will have an optional 30 minutes of homework help to assist students wanting to tackle their homework during academy time. Students can get help from the tutor, or can just use this time as quiet reading or work time. (GIDE homework club is optional) * On this day, GIDE will be scheduled late in the day, so only available for students still in the academy at that time.
Crafts and Games Time - When not outdoors or involved in planned activites, children have access to craft supplies, puzzles, games, books and more.
External Activities Available - Tuesdays
Register in any of these classes and we will deliver the student to the class and bring them back to the academy afterwards!
