Enrichment & WOW Experiences.
Flash Ley seeks to provide an exciting, broad and balanced enrichment curriculum to our children through clubs like Art, PE, SEAL, Literacy club, booster clubs and sport.
Our external sport clubs provide sport and games opportunities which focus on developing good quality skills, an understanding of tactics and teamwork, enjoyment and knowing how to improve.
Teaching staff run weekly clubs planned on children's interests but to also develop skills and other loves of learning that aren't necessarily part of the curriculum. We strive to give our children lots of exposure to different aspects of subjects like Art, PSED, Sport but also encourage children to attend clubs like Lego, Dance and Origami club to enhance skills they already have.
Hardiwick Farm 20th October
At Flash Ley we want to help inspire our pupils to be the best they can possibly be. Today a group of pupils from KS2 who have said they might like to be vets in the future, were able to visit a working dairy farm.
We rounded up cows in a field and saw them being milked, we then found out how the milk is chilled and stored before collection. We also met some calves and found out about how important animal welfare is for the farmer. Milk from the farm is made into cheese at the Joseph Heler factory.
We were given some cheese, and on Friday will be cooking with it!

Beaudesert Park Farm
On Wednesday 15th September we visited Mary the farmer at Beaudesert Park Farm. We also met with Chef Idris. During the day we prepared vegetables and fruit for a delicious soup and fruit cocktail. We ate the soup we had prepared and then troured the farm in the afternoon.

Lawrence then did an assembly, during which he shared some extracts from his own books. One of his books is going to be adapted for a performance in the West End in London! At the end of the day, children had the opportunity to buy signed copies of his books.
