It will be for both children and parents to see what they have achieved as well as what is planned for each session.
How quickly the children pick up the games may cause changes to the schedule.
Overview of this terms after school club
These sessions aim to promote strategy gaming and introduce the children to a selection of games they may never have even heard of by providing equipment and my knowledge.Over the course of the term all the children that are interested will get the chance to spend a session learning how to make their own model scenery and a second session learning how to paint a model.

UPDATE 19th January
we sent you guys home with some rules for you to look over if you wanted to learn some more about the game.
To help I have included a copy of what was sent out below (Im sure some of you have lost them already :-)
I have put together a
list of the rules for our game, some of this you may remember from the last
week other parts are brand new. 
If you want to have a
look at them they will help you in this weeks club - do not worry if it is a
little confusing anything you can pick up from this is a great start :-) 
Formations
This is the way the bases of models
are arranged
 FORMED LINE:
Strengths = Balanced for shooting and close combat     Weaknesses = Hard to move around
 FORMED BLOCK: The 1st row must be at least
5 bases wide.
Strengths = Very powerful in close combat   Weaknesses = Very vulnerable to shooting attacks
 LOOSE LINE / BLOCK
Strong vs shooting attacks                Weaknesses = Poor against formed infantry
 SKIRMISH: 
Strengths = Limits shooting damage screens friendly units and
great for shooting units
Weaknesses =  Very bad in close
combat and poor against cavalry
Extras:
Units
may start the game in any formation available to them.
All
units enter the skirmish formation when fleeing.
