Open Sessions
Over the next few weeks we have a number of open sessions planned; you can come along to as many of these as you like and see the fantastic work your children have been doing. Please sign up on the sheet at the front desk. The next Open Sessions are:
Friday 13th / Saturday 14th August: Open Morning
- an opportunity to come in with your child and see the work they do - your child will be your Tutor! Alternatively, if you are not yet members, this is the perfect opportunity to come in and find out more.
Schools
This term we’ve been working with local schools who have taken part in our Maths workshops. We're also looking forward to working with Crowthorne C of E, The Grove Primary, Owlsmoor school and others in September.

Please click here to go to our fabulous new "Free resources" section, where you can find printable worksheets to challenge your child in Literacy and/or Maths.
During half term we worked with Farnborough, Fleet and Camberley libraries running fantastic creative writing workshops. Please look out for the next literacy-based workshops we will be running over the Summer holidays.
We do a lot of work in the community and have been visiting Brownies recently too. If your child goes to Cubs, Beavers, Rainbows or Brownies and would like us to come along to visit with a workshop, please let us know.

6up Session
We’re inviting all members in Year 6 or above to come in for one of their sessions on Thursday evenings between 6.45 – 8.00pm. This means that the older children will be able to have Surf Club time with children their own age. However all of our members are still welcome to use the centre at this time
Homework Club
We're turning Friday evening into homework club! All our members are welcome to come in anytime between 6 and 8pm and spend their session getting help with any tricky homework questions, which means your child can get their work done and enjoy the rest of the weekend! Your child can have a regular session at this time if you wish, or just use part of their session to get help with their homework. It's completely up to you!
We understand the importance of providing you with frequent, detailed feedback about your child’s progress which is why we endeavour to hold meetings with you on a regular basis. We know that especially with the recent bad weather it’s been difficult to get into the centre for these meetings and so if at anytime you would prefer us to call you and have a telephone consultation instead then please let us know.

"Explore Learning's visit made the children really spark and come up with lots of new ideas, they worked really hard and have referred back to the day on a few occasions. The tutors were excellent, they made the event fun and kept the children's attention, the children all said they'd loved it".
