Jammers is the name of Christian clubs run at both Sturry Primary school and Hersden Primary school. It started in 2001 as an after-school club at Sturry Primary school, and now also runs as a lunch-time club at Hersden Primary school.
Jammers is a fun mixture of worship, games, stories and discusion.
This term the Jammers club at Sturry Primary school was for Juniors, and Captain Graham Nunn helped lead two of the sessions. The Jammers Christian afterschool clubs have now been running in Sturry for over 7 years. The photos below show some of the games and tricks we try learning, including spinning plates, juggling and various frisbees and boomerangs

We lit candles and placed them in the shape of the cross. For some Juniors in year 6 this was their last Jammers, having been coming for over 5 years.
On 17th January 2006, Jammers celebrated its 5th Birthday. Since it began in 2001, there have been over 18 Jammers sessions at Sturry Primary school and 7 at Hersden Primary School.
Captain Graham Nunn came along on the 17th January with his usual box of tricks and helped celebrate 5 years of after-school and lunch-time clubs for Primary school children in Stury and Hersden.

During the summer term in 2005
the weather was so warm,
Jammers was held outside. Hersden Primary school provided a gazebo to keep us cool.
During the first half of the Spring Term, JAMMERS, the afterschool club at Sturry Primary School was for Infants. Over 30 children enjoyed learning about God and having fun.

Jammers is a Christian after-school club at Sturry Primary school run by members of Sturry church for Sturry Primary school children. It now meets on Tuesday afternoons, 3:15-4:15pm in the school. For different year groups each half term.
What does Jammers stand for? Jammers reminds us that Jesus Accepts Me, however old I am, however clever I am and however good I am.
There is a mixture of games, music, fun and videos. Some afternoons are led by Captain Graham Nunn, the Diocesan Children's Missioner.
By popular request, here is a photo of the snake that appeared from the walking stick as if by by magic.

Junior Jammers, like Infant Jammers is based on learning about God and having fun. Some of the activities are similar, but others, like 'Blockbusters" are different.
We have discussions... |
