Class Overview

Our afterschool classes are action packed, skill based sessions where children will  hone their balls skills, perform obstacle courses, relay races, participate in fun games and challenges – all in a supportive and non-competitive atmosphere.

Classes change each week so each class is exciting and fun. We use lots of different props to enhance the learning experience of every child. Fun and fitness! –  a great way to finish off the school day

Jane has been teaching her Stretch n grow class in Minerva since we opened almost 11 years ago. It has been the most wonderful Asset to our curriculum. Janes ability to teach is truly unique. The children are captivated and we often comment on how much the children love and look forward to the class every week. They learn so much through brilliant, well structured and carefully thought out songs and dance which really gets their heart rate going. Stretch n grow is the one extra curricular activity we have in Minerva and the one thing I will never give up as I see the amazing benefits every week. Thankyou so much Jane for everything .

Jane Keogh has delivered her Stretch ‘n’ Grow health and fitness programme to the children of Ardtona House School for many years. It is an invaluable part of our curriculum, and one that the children love. This is evident in their excitement when she arrives to give her classes. Jane has a wonderful rapport with the children, engaging, supporting and encouraging each one of them. We love her energy, enthusiasm and professionalism.

Ardtona House School

We have worked with Jane and Stretch and Grow for many years. The children at Ashgrove from Play school right through to Afterschool love the classes which are tailor made to suit their age and developmental needs. Jane and her instructors make each class fun and teach the children so many valuable lessons about their body, nutrition and how to exercise together. We love Thursday mornings with Stretch and Grow
Thank you Jane
