Extra-curricular clubs
If your child is interested in joining any of our extra-curricular clubs, please contact Mrs Blacklock in the school office.
We offer a range of extra-curricular activities throughout the school year. Previous clubs have included signing and communication, gardening and Japanese.
Castleton choir - Thursdays after school
The choir welcomes boys and girls from years 1 to 6. The children learn about the importance of singing for health and wellbeing and work on vocal warm ups, activities and games to illustrate singing as a whole-body activity which uses the brain and ears as well.
The children are encouraged to suggest some of the songs they would like to sing as well as being taught music linked to topics and events throughout the school calendar.
The choir links perfectly to some of the schools Oaths and presents many opportunities for the children beyond the classroom. In the past, the choir have been delighted to visit a recording studio and released their very own CD! They have also entered in Whitby's Eskdale Festival singing class, performing at the Pavilion in front of a large audience. They excelled themselves both musically and as individuals, proudly representing the school and showing evidence towards our 'be the best they can be' oath.
The whole school have also visited the Bradbury Centre, where they were invited to sing to the older residents and members of the community, showing evidence towards our 'improve their local community' oath.
Multi-sports club - Fridays after school
Multi-sports club welcomes children from years 1 to 6 and ensures that we are keeping ourselves fit and healthy, as well as having fun! We enjoy spending time together and motivating and encouraging each other.
