Minibridge School Club November 2024
Following a very successful minibridge teacher training session at the club back in September when 17 members attended, we held 2 taster sessions in Fishbourne Primary School for the top 2 year groups.
We are now delighted to say that we are up and running with a lunchtime Fishbourne Primary School minibridge club, we have 12 extremely keen 9 and 10 year olds in the club and there are more who want to join. The club is led by Penny Holroyd supported by members from the training session.
The children are making great progress already with learning NT play and we hope to introduce the concept of ‘trumps’ in the next week or two. The biggest problem is the size of their hands as holding 13 cards is quite a challenge!
The headteacher told us that when she took them on a train to Southampton recently that lots of the children had independently taken packs of cards with them and were quietly practising their card play, playing in partnerships, and reminding each other of what to do! Members of the public had approached her to say what a lovely sight it was.
The EBU has a structured programme which we aim to follow & there are awards which the children can work towards going forward.
