About this deal

In 2009 we expanded to Abbeyfeale where a club was set up. This meant that children from the locality didn't have to travel to Rathkeale, they were able to attend the club in Abbeyfeale. It also frees up spaces in the Rathkeale club so that new children can join in both Rathkeale and Abbeyfeale. so what does jacqueline wilson do? does she write her protagonist telling her own parents about the child abuse she's witnessed? do any of the adults in the situation think "that's not right" and try to help the abused seven year old? The Wednesday and Friday fish special is fried only, though there is some baked fish on the regular menu. To make things worse, Tina has been paired up with class bully, Selma, who NO ONE wants to be friends with.

The Butterfly Club by Jacqueline Wilson is a heartwarming story about Tina, one of a set of triplets, who was born smaller than her sisters and with a small heart. This book is really exciting especially when they time travel, i wanted to rush on and read more but sometimes it got a bit spooky and i had to stop r... When Mrs. Lovejoy asked Selma and Tina to help her develop a butterfly garden in the school the story changes. Tina develops her confidence in the process and becomes Selma's best friend. The sisters Phil & Maddie are so considerate of tiny Tina who has a poorly heart and had an operation after she was born. This was so lovely to read aka how they supported her and worried for her. However, I'm glad thier new year 3 teacher Miss Lovejoy helped Tina develop independence - she was firm with even Tina's mum, making the triplets sit apart for the first time to make thier own friends and to be comfortable in thier own space apart from one another. With over 1200 performances every year, we are always on the lookout for new shows. If you are a producer (or self-produced artist) we’d love to hear from you.

Ratings and reviews

A heartwarming story about friendship, bullying and confidence by bestselling author Jacqueline Wilson. When Miss Lovejoy asks them to help her create a butterfly garden in the school playground, Tina discovers she doesn't always need her sisters - and that there's a lot more to Selma than first meets the eye. Each session has a different theme for the activities. In the Caterpillars club we will be supporting peer interaction and exploring our surroundings through play. I have literally read every single one of Jacqueline's books. I have loved her writing since I was in primary school and I am now 26. Of course, I always adore the pictures in these books for younger readers! They add to the story in such a special way.

With no minimum hire fee, free rehearsals, free front-of-house, free merch sales, and other assorted perks, the Club is a great place to get your work on stage without breaking the bank. Each with thier own personalities and yet each having the same care and worry for each other, this was such a sweet book I read it in two sittings! There's definitely important themes about not knowing what other people are suffering through and therefore being nice to people rather than piling on BUT you have a child who is clearly suffering at the least physical abuse, but also emotional abuse and you have not only a parent but also a teacher who is aware of this, or at least suspects that this child isn't well treated, and they do absolutely nothing to support her. In fact Tina's mum seems to send mixed messages by saying her children should be nicer but then tries to stop her daughter going around the home for dinner and trying to cut her out of a TV show - she seemed like a bit of a bully herself in all honesty. There's also the fact that Selma's bullying of Tina goes completely unpunished; I don't think the teacher even really reprimands her.Our Saturday club is now divided into 5 groups. Each group of children attend club once a month from 1pm – 5pm. 4 of the groups which includes a Youth Club are based in Croí na nÓg, Rathkeale and one other club is based in Abbeyfeale. We have recognised that some children and families feel more comfortable by attending sessions as a family due to a wide range of reasons. So we will be running a family events in the following areas throughout the year: Children/ young people will be in small groups with a high support ratio, where they are supported to explore a range of activities at a pace suitable for them. Butterflies sessions will be a range of hall based and community based sessions, where your child takes part in a range of structured activities. In the Butterflies club we will be working on promoting independence and practising social skills within the groups.

EOIs for the Melbourne Improv Festival in January are open! If you are an improviser or improv troupe, we want to hear from you. Mrs Maynard- Tina, Phil and Maddie's mum. She wants her kids to stay healthy and eat healthy. One time, during a visit to the doctor's about Tina's weak condition, she is seen being embarrassed, as one of the other ladies commented on seeing Tina's mum give her chocolate. She is very protective of Tina and does not let her play roughly. Let me tell you, when I got to THAT bit near the end where I realised the crossover between this and one of JW's earlier books... I got very nerdily excited about all of the characters existing in the same JW universe! I don't exactly know why this surprises and delights me so much; maybe because I've been on such a journey with her books in the last 6 months and to see a connection made between 2 books written by JW 20 years apart felt really lovely. To see these 2 other characters flourishing in adulthood was just wonderful, and the way they've supported Tina in this too.I read the book after them, it is a bout a triplets one of them Tina is smaller and weaker and everybody in the family trying to protect her, But in year 3 when the new teacher make her sit with difficult child ( bully) and ask them to make school garden.She will learn how to be independent and be her self and how to give other people a chance.. Lovely , funny, and have moral to teach. What more you need from book for children....... Our members have lots of fabulous ideas and big aspirations for what they would like to do with their club. Tina dosen't have a confidence that she can do things on her own. She was also feeling lonely as Phil and Maddy made friends on their tables. Mrs. Lovejoy, their new class teacher separated them. She made them seat on three different tables. Tina was made to sit with Selma, a bully in the class, along with four other kids who were stronger than her. i feel like you can tell my mental health state by how many jacqueline wilson books i read in a row (and the age demographic they're meant for)

The Butterfly Club is yet another Wilson masterpiece; brilliantly written, very accessible, just a joy to read. The characters in the story are crafted very thoughtfully. Mrs. Lovejoy is my favorite character in the story. In the beginning, I hated her for being so strict with students. She didn't give permission to triplet to seat together but as I read further, I understood Mrs. Lovejoy better. She has a purpose to it. In the beginning, I felt that the story was moving at a slow pace but later on it became very interesting. Thank you for making my Mom’s 85th birthday party so nice today. Thank you for allowing us to have a private room and for as long as we needed. The food was very good and portions were more than generous. It was all very nice and everyone was commenting on what a nice afternoon it was. You made our event – very enjoyable. Can’t thank you enough! “ She should be prescribed for all cases of reading reluctance. - Independent on Sunday Read more Details Jacqueline is one of the nation’s favourite authors, and her books are loved and cherished by young readers not only in the UK but all over the world. She has sold millions of books and in the UK alone the total now stands at over 35 million!Overall it's very feel-good, although this is the first time I've come across the mention of iPads and Monster High in a JW book which felt strange - crossing over into the next generation of younger readers! There was also something very modern and self aware in the way the triplets' mum tries to get them to see a different perspective on Selma's fractured home life; I found this an important lesson to be incorporated into the book. it was, uh... hm. i liked parts of it. the triplets' story and tina's medical issues were handled well. when does jacqueline wilson not handle difficult subjects well?
