About
Little Livewires
Every Friday from
5:00pm-5:50pm (during term time)
This club is for the younger children - in school years
Reception/year 1/Year 2 – and began in January 2006. It takes place
in the Hall at DCF. Currently there are 14 members although a few
will leave to go to Livewires Club in September, when new ones will
join. Numbers will be limited to 20 children in order to give enough
time to each child.
The activities are structured in a way that makes them different
from Livewires club, so that children moving from one club to the
next will find enough of a change to be exciting and challenging.
The rules are the same as for Livewires as they work!
After registration (subs are 50p)
the children begin with a game until all have arrived.
The next activity can be a mix of craft /colouring / games /talks.
Each term a subject is chosen to be the theme so that the children
can learn in a fun way about a certain topic. Topics Covered are:
Animals, People, Trees, Food, Insects, Water, Fish, Music,
Transport, Places , Occupations, Sports, Clothes and shoes,
Entertainment, Games, Wild animals and Birds. This means that
any child being in Little Livewires for a full three years gets to
look at all the topics.
Any information sheets or
colouring sheets are then put into each child's folder which they
take home at the end of each year (July). Each subject has Christian
teaching brought into it to show the children that everything in
life has a purpose and design.
There is a story each week which the children love, and to end their
short but busy time each week they have a few action songs – and
each one gets a turn to ‘have a lolly’ at home time.
Each week a child is given the chance to say a prayer at the end,
saying thank you to God for something.

Each year the little ones have
their own race in Livewires Sports day and also have a minor part in
the Livewires plays/musicals. They were included on the CD
“Christmas with Livewires” with their own rendering of Away in a
Manger plus a unique track of their own.
The leaders are: Maureen Forder – Katie Clague – and helper Erin
Clague, herself an ex-Livewire, with occasional help from Livewires
leaders. Leaders have taken the DCF Child protection course – in
association with CCPAS – and are CRB checked.
