Groups at St John's
PLAYGROUP: A very popular playgroup for 2 to 4 year olds, open from Monday to Thursday 9-15am -11-45am Registered for 24 children per morning, we have a wide variety of table top and large equipment, helping children to gain gross motor skills and small manipulative skills. We have joined the Early Years Development in Child Care Partnership, which gives every 3 yr old a free place. We are working towards the Early Learning Goals set out by the Government. The playgroup undergoes Ofsted inspections which helps to maintain a high standard of early years learning and experiences.
TINY TOTS: Since September 1999 when we began a united Baby and Toddler group under the new name of Tiny Tots, things have gone from strength to strength. We cater for babies from a few weeks old to toddlers of
2½ with a variety of large and small equipment aimed at extending their co-ordination and maneuverability. For the current term there are approximately 40 names on the roll and our actual attendance has reached as many as 33 - some will move on to Playgroup in the next few months, so hopefully these will be our average figures in the foreseeable future.
ST JOHN'S FELLOWSHIP: Meets every third Monday in the month from 1-30pm until 3pm. A very friendly group, with speakers every other month. Tea and biscuits and bingo. If you just want to sit and chat, this is the place.
PAINT POTS: An informal, friendly group of artists, based at St John the Evangelist, Kingston Park. We meet on the 2nd Monday of each month, from 7pm till 9pm, with a small charge of £1 to cover room hire. Members are at various levels of skills, with many who enjoy using water colours. We all enjoy learning from each other in a friendly, encouraging atmosphere and have outdoor painting trips and visits to exhibitions.
