Get ready for a jam packed day combining movement and creativity with friends! Children will take part in a wide range of physical activities, including kickball, basketball, rounders and playground games, alongside gymnastics and exercise circuits. Alongside the action, children will explore their creative side through a variety of craft activities. They will take part in painting and cartoon doodle workshops, developing fine motor skills, control and creativity as they experiment with colour, patterns and design to create their own artwork.

Expect a day full of movement, imagination and variety, with the perfect balance of active play and creative expression!

Wet Wednesday or Learn to Ride… the choice is yours!

Wet Wednesday: Dive into a day full of active, water themed fun designed to build physical skills, coordination and creativity! Children will take part in exciting sports style water challenges, team games and slippery races that promote movement, balance and agility, all while staying cool and having a blast! They will also get creative with watery art activities, exploring colour, texture and technique through watercolour painting and splashy crafts. Expect plenty of movement, lots of laughter and more than a few splashes, so don’t forget to pack a swimsuit, Crocs or water shoes, a large towel and a full change of clothes. This is water MADNESS at its best… are you ready to make a splash?

Learn to Ride: Back by popular demand! Get ready to ditch the stabilisers or gain more confidence on 2 wheels. Children should wear clothing suitable for a day in the saddle, bring a packed lunch, their own bike and a helmet that fits appropriately. Please remove stabilisers before attending the session to save time for the instructors.These sessions will go ahead even if it is raining so please check the weather forecast and send children with appropriate clothing and coats.
