To fill out the form, you will need to enter the full name (First and family name) of your child, select their class from the drop down box, enter a contact email that the club provider will be given, and then select which clubs you would like to sign up for

The clubs are arranged by day. You do not have to choose a club for each day, and we would recommend a limit to clubs dependent on the age of your child:

Reception– 1 club per week Year 1 & 2– no more than 2 clubs per week Year 3, 4, 5 & 6 – no more than 3 clubs per week

Some clubs are very popular, and in the event of a club reaching its maximum capacity, all children entered afterwards will form the waiting list. If you have not got into a club, you can then arrange for a different club after the initial process has finished, or go on the waiting list in case others drop out.

Once you have finished the selection, please press submit, and then you have completed the process. Please note, if you subsequently decide you would like to change your choices, you must re-submit the entire form before the deadline, but you may then appear further down the waiting list and so may not get in to an oversubscribed club.

Each entry is then filed on our data base, with a time marked entry, so that we will be able to see which children have applied for a club in which order, and can then create club lists fairly.

The deadline for booking clubs and filling in online forms will be SUNDAY 8th September at 5p.m. We will then inform parents and children of their club requests by letter by Thursday 12th. If you have not got into the club of first choice, you will then be able to arrange with Mrs Lankenau to find out which clubs have spaces. Outside club providers levy a charge (detailed in the booklet) - parents are expected to meet the providers after the first session and arrange payment. Please ensure that this is done promptly so that the clubs can run for all. Clubs will start on Monday 16th September, and will run until Friday 13h December. Please note that we are only able to receive bookings for clubs via firefly.

Many thanks and best wishes

Over the last 10 years, social media apps and filmmaking tools have become a fundamental part of our digital lives. Young people, in particular, learn, socialise, explore their identities and engage with the world using their screens. Media literacy is now a basic literacy. In response to these developments, Film Crew Club workshops focus on conversation and co-creation formats: students work with cameras, iPads, mobile phones to explore 2/3D animation, live action, gaming and social media content. By making films together, students learn, first hand, how to look at media critically and how to engage with it safely and respectfully. Classes include playful exercises and games, in which students learn to verify images, assess content for risk, understand how editing tools manipulate imagery and differentiate between authentic and sponsored content. Film Crew Club workshops are also offered as independent workshops throughout the year for kids, teens and adults at other locations.

We do painting, drawing, claywork, paper/cardwork – lots of imaginative work. You can see examples on my website, www.tonychapman-artmusic.com

There is a relaxed atmosphere – making art is fun. I encourage self expression and freedom in art making – I give a project as a starting point – the most important thing for me is the student’s own interpretation... I‘m always amazed and delighted to see what students come up with...

I’ve been running these groups for the last 19 years – at the British School of Amsterdam, ISA and AICS. I have a B.A. Hons Degree in Creative Arts. I am a painter and sculptor.

I also teach guitar (privately and at the British School of Amsterdam) and I teach piano (privately).

I am English – and have lived in Amsterdam for the last 20 years. I am also a singer/songwriter

with my own band, “The Big Event”, performing in and around Amsterdam.

All art materials are provided.
