Lunchtime Clubs

Chinese Dance Group

Mandarin program has been introduced to Blackburn Primary School since 2011. Every student in the school has embraced the Chinese language and the Chinese culture. Our Chinese Dance Group also was formed in 2011. All the girls in the group have dedicated considerable time in practicing Chinese dancing and singing. The students practice every Friday at lunchtime. The Chinese Dance Group has performed at OXFAM, school assembly, Chinese Day and many other school events.

When: Every Friday lunchtime

Where: the Old Hall  

Chess Club

For those wishing to play a social game of Chess, Chess Club will open every Thursday lunchtimes from 1:25 in the Library. Due to the limited number of Chess sets available, the club will only be open to children in Years 2 to 6 but this may change depending on the levels of interest.  Children are encouraged to learn the game from fellow players with some instruction provided by the Teacher.  It’s a wonderful way to meet friends, learn a new skill, and learn from each other!  

Coding Club

Each Monday and Tuesday lunchtimes Code Club will be happening in Foundation C.

1. Years 1-3 Monday. This term we will continue to explore the App Scratch JR and later this term coding Blu-Bots to complete various challenges.
2. Years 4-6 Tuesday. We will continue working with Swift Playgrounds as well as with the Spheros.

Knitting Club

It has been wonderful to see students graduating from finger knitting to needles. We are using some of the 'double' finger knitted yarn in a hoop weaving. Our Foundation students have been very enthusiastic about Knitting Club and are now experts, teaching others how to finger knit and bringing new group members.
