Miramar Kids

Children will take part in an activity to create a summer memory album, using drawings and craft materials. They will need coloured cardboard, glue, scissors, markers, crayons, stickers and summer decorations. The activity will begin with a brief explanation and a sample album, after which each child will be able to briefly share their favourite summer memory. They will personalise the cover of their albums with cardboard, markers and stickers, writing their names and drawing something representative of summer. Afterwards, at home, they will be able to stick together as a family the best photos of their memories of the summer of 2024.

For the last Wednesdays of September we have prepared a very special activity: we are going to decorate our school bags with felt patches designed by our children. The materials needed are fabric backpacks, coloured felt, scissors, fabric glue, fabric markers and shape templates. First, the activity will be explained and examples will be shown. Then, they will cut out shapes from the felt and decorate them with markers. Once they are ready, they will stick the patches on their backpacks. At the end, there will be a small exhibition where each child will show and describe their decorated backpack. This activity encourages creativity, fine motor skills and pride in their school material.

The Little Gluttonous Caterpillar’ is a children’s book by Eric Carle that tells the story of a caterpillar who, after hatching from an egg, begins to eat insatiably. Eventually, it builds a cocoon and transforms into a butterfly. The book is known for its vibrant illustrations and repetitive narrative, which helps children learn the days of the week, numbers and food. Published in 1969, it has sold millions of copies and has been translated into more than 60 languages, making it a classic of children’s literature that teaches about the cycle of life and growing up – there’s no child who won’t love it!

In the toy library we have a lot of fun board games (Uno, Virus, Jungle Speed, Memory…). We’ll have a great time playing in groups and testing our visual speed, strategic thinking, collaboration, etc.

Our older children in the toy library have created a story about a good and kind pirate, a friend of sea animals who is dedicated to cleaning up the oceans. This pirate needs the help of all the children in the children’s club to fulfil his purpose. The September treasure hunt will be guided by this beautiful story that several of our most loyal ‘pirates’ have created together.

What a fun way to get to know all the nooks and crannies of our club and learn more about the oceans than by playing a mysterious treasure hunt. The monitors have hidden some clues around the club, to find them we will have to be very clever and solve all the clues, at the end, step by step, we will have cleaned the Oceans of Club Miramar.

On Sundays in September we will create moments of peace and calm through a guided yoga game in English. As we have been seeing throughout this year, yoga is a beneficial practice that combines physical exercise and mindfulness and offers physical benefits as well as emotional control, concentration and confidence.
