At Barr Beacon School we want to offer our pupils the very best opportunities and experiences. Our extra-curricular offer is something we are very proud of as currently, we have over 40 different activities on offer ranging from: Contemporary Dance to Sewing Club; from Cricket to Lego Club.  

One of our year 8 pupils has written this piece on why she enjoys going to Mindful Crafts and the benefits it has to offer.   

Mindful Crafts is an amazing club. I love how I and my fellow club members connect through talking whilst doing mindful activities or games. One week we coloured in Stitch from Disney’s Lilo & Stitch. I enjoyed this because it helped me to relax and be mindful, something we do not get much time to do during our lessons! We have also made door hangers, played colouring games and my favourite, making walking crabs out of origami. When the holidays are approaching (for example, Halloween, Christmas and most recently Easter) we made homemade decorations and cards to give out to our family and friends. I find Mindful Crafts really relaxing, amazing and fun! I would really recommend anybody who loves doing the things to come along every Monday.
