April Newsletter
The Easter Holidays have arrived and we have had such a fun holiday club, and thankfully been blessed with some good weather too. We have had a great first week of the holidays, and done so many fun activities including Getting down and dirty, Fishing, Nature trails, Arts and crafts, Pizza and Quiche making, Movies, sports and team games to name but a few, Please have a look at our picture links to see how much fun all the children have had.
Getting down and dirty
As you can see by all the photo's the children really enjoyed playing in the mud, some even braved it and went for a full body paddle in the river. All these types of activities the children really get some much out of, as well as having a great time and a great laugh, they also learn some basic survival skills, and team building skills, as the older children really help the younger ones enjoy the full experience of risk and challenge activities. All these activities are lead by the children, but at all times have full adult supervision, although we do not get involved in their play experience unless they invite us to join in, which we are so grateful that they do, as it gives us all a chance to be a big kid ourselves again.
You've got a friend in me
The children just love being in the great outdoors, and it is amazing how much fun and laughter they have playing with the natural environment which surrounds them, who thought climbing a tree would be such fun. Even the younger children cant resist giving it a try, but with fantastic helpers on hand, this is no problem. We really like to encourage the children to participate in all the play opportunities the staff create, and once they have given it a go there is just no stopping them.
Gok Whan meet our mok Whan fashion designers
Leaving the children with a table full or resourses to get creative is such a joy to watch, the children take so much time and put so much effort into what they are doing, and as a staff team, we have to say that we are just amazed at their final creations, in fact im sure we would wear their designs. Im sure there will be a full children in the near future that could be the next Armani or Vivian Westwood.
