Rumsey Hall Lower School Afternoon Enrichment Program (AEP)

Winter 2018

Kindie to Primes Activities

Legomania: Kindergarten ? Primes Join us for a Lego building afternoon activity. We'll spread out the Lego bricks and build, build, build! As the winter goes by, we'll take on new challenges each week and perhaps work towards a group creation. If the weather is good, we may take brick breaks to go skating or sledding.

Winter Fun: Kindergarten ? Primes Experience the wonders of winter this season. In this "winter wonderland" activity, students will explore the woods, boot skate on the ponds, sled down many of the hills on campus, make snowmen, build snow forts, create snow angels, and do anything else their outdoor imaginations inspire. It's all about being outside so bundle up!

Super Yogis: Kindergarten ? Primes First, we'll start with a little bit of Super Junior's playtime. Then we'll add some yoga and mindfulness fun--stretches to make us strong, poses to help us breathe deeply, activities to make us live better. Yoga and mindfulness can make us stronger, more flexible, more aware, and happy so why not give it a go?! Dress for flex

Super Games: Kindergarten - Primes Spend a cozy winter afternoon inside playing games. Some will be classics (Sorry,Uno, etc...) and some will be invented (bean bag, memory, and whatever comes to mind!). Required: a sense of fun, fairness, and an ability to follow the rules for a fantastic fiesta!

Oodles of Indoor Fun: Kindergarten - Primes Ever have days where going out into the cold is not on the top of your priority list? Then get ready to have oodles of fun with this activity after school where we will make forts, finger knit, water color paint, make playdough, play games, read books... and lots, lots more! This will surely keep you all engaged, cozy, and warm.

Pre-Primes - IIIrd Form Activities

Creation Station: Primes - IIIrd Form Think of the Creation Station as a low-tech maker-space. What's a makerspace, you say? It's basically a place where people can share tools and ideas to make cool stuff. In this class, we will examine simple inventions, such as bookmarks or mousetraps and see if we can't design better ones. And, of course, we will engage in various maker-space exercises, such as the infamous Marshmallow Challenge.
