FIZZ!

A NEW CLUB FOR CHILDREN: 4-5yrs
Mondays 4-5pm

Young Children FIZZING with FUN!

Little kids love FIZZ!

FIZZ! - our after school club for reception age children - bridges the gap between Tiptoes and Footsteps. It's a smaller club than our other weekday children' clubs, which also means it's quieter and calmer. FIZZ! started with about 12 very enthusiastic children, soon rising to about 20 (which is probably our limit for this particular children's club).

Refreshments and Anticipation

We start with refreshments to revive the children a bit after their tiring day at school - but the children usually arrive full of eager anticipation, having been reminding each other 'Oh it's FIZZ! tonight!' during the school day. One child was terribly disappointed that he had to miss a FIZZ! session - his dentist appointment, booked 6 months ago, just didn't have the same appeal!

Storytime - with Miles the Monkey

Miles the Monkey helps to tell the story. The children are good at listening carefully, which helps with the fun, games, songs, crafts and prayer activities that follow.

Activities, Crafts . . . and fun & games!

Some of the early FIZZ! sessions focussed on the story of Abraham. The children set off on a journey 'like Abraham' with a suitcase and a tent . . . and Miles the Monkey (we're not aiming for authenticity here, just some understanding of the story!) At 'night' they pitched the tent and everyone piled into it to 'sleep' . . . only to discover on 'waking' that God wanted them to move tent (all round the church) . . . time after time! At craft time we made pipe-cleaner men (to represent Abraham), tents, suitcases and woolly sheep!

Treasure!

When the children listen well during storytime - as they usually do! - they are given little bits of 'treasure' to add to their personal Treasure Chest. All the Treasure Chests are kept in a huge treasure ship, where Miles the Monkey lives.

FIZZ! bridges the gap between Tiptoes and Footsteps - it's well pitched for 4-5 year olds (some children were finding Footsteps a bit too much). The children are loving having a club especially for them! We hope that children who have enjoyed FIZZ! for two years will be keen to move on to Footsteps, and to try Children's Church too.

Meanwhile, we're glad to welcome back friends who used to come to Tiptoes are now coming to FIZZ!
