Anchor Boys P1-P3
Anchor Boys is for boys aged between 4 and 8 years old.
We meet on Friday evenings between 6.30 and 7.30 pm at Law Primary School.
Anchor Boys are about:
· having fun
· making friends
· enjoying lots of activities
· trying new things
We have lots of fun doing different activities which include crafts, baking, music, games, sports, stories, making friends and more.
Children of this age are developing rapidly. There are big changes in a child's mental, emotional, social and physical development.However, all children are different and have a variety of needs. The relationships formed with children at this age can be important in assisting them to achieve a sound sense of personal and group identity. The programme will provide a wide variety of different activities including:
- Learning new skills
- Developing confidence
- Developing physical skills
- Developing independence
- Developing a group identity
- Developing an awareness of the needs of others
- Developing a person identity
All of this is done as part of a balanced programme that is separated into five different zones:
· Body - fit for fun
· Mind - think and do
· Spirit - God and me
· Community - me and my world
· Creativity - make and do
Everything an Anchor Boy does help them to develop and to think for themselves, in a safe environment.
The Officer in charge of the Anchor Boys is Hazel Robertson.

Badgework
The Anchors Activity Programme provides an informal award scheme. This means boys will gain their awards as they take part in the usual programme activities.
|
The first award is the Green Activity Badge which requires 12 activities and is usually awarded at age 5/6. The second award is the Red Activity Badge which requires 18 activities and is usually awarded at age 6/7. The third award is the Blue Activity Badge which requires 18 activities and is usually awarded at age 7/8. |
In order to get all 3 awards a boy needs to complete a total of 48 activities over 3 years. It does not matter what age your child joins at since they will join in with others their same age and participate at their own level. There is no judgment about how well they have done, all that is required is to join in and try their best.
