AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES | The Science Camp

WINFORD CLUB

Mindful Minds: Sensory Lab
Term: Jan - Jun 2026

Lessons taught in English.

Our after-school club at Winford is a calm, nurturing and engaging programme designed especially for children aged 4–8 years. The club runs on Wednesdays from 13:00–17:00 (4 hours) and includes a full afternoon of planned mindfulness and sensory activities, indoor and outdoor play, and snacks provided (fruit/vegetables/ crackers and spreads).

This terms theme will explore Winter & Spring. Each session is based around a seasonal theme e.g. Snowflakes and Ice in the Winter, encouraging children to explore what they see, feel, and experience-both physically and emotionally. Children are introduced to the theme through stories, games, songs, colours and discussion.

The afternoon includes hands-on sensory play using tuff trays and carefully planned take-home activities that support creativity, curiosity and fine motor development. We also build in mindfulness moments, such as colouring, simple yoga and breathing exercises, helping children relax and regulate after a busy school day.

Time is balanced between structured activities and free play, with opportunities to play both indoors and outdoors. Sessions end with a calm wind-down and preparation for home time.

All activities age-appropriate, inclusive and delivered in a safe, supportive environment. Students from neighbouring/ outside schools are welcome to join!

Below we have included the dates for the Dutch or Bilingual streams, so you can book in which suits you best. We do need a minimum of 8 kids to start this fantastic project.

SCHOOL PROJECTS

Voor scholen, kinderdagverblijven en bso's in en om Amsterdam verzorgt The Science Camp workshops. We bieden een dagdeel vol spannende experimenten en geweldige proefjes. We kunnen rakketen laten lanceren, een vulkaan laten uitbarsten en een tornado in een fles maken. In science met kinderen draait het erom dat niet alles te voorspellen is. We praten over onze verwachtingen, kijken naar de proef en bespreken waarom de uitkomst is zoals hij is.

Aantal deelnemers

Er is geen maximum aantal deelnemende kinderen. Maar bij meer dan 10 kinderen wordt er op de actieve hulp en ondersteuning van de leraar/leidsters gerekend.

Programma

Er is een programma voor binnen en buiten. Ons aanbod bestaat uit:
