Please remember to collect your cake tins and dishes from the covered walkway, thank you!

OUR CURRENT PROJECTS
Teatowel project: Children need to draw their portrait in a square with their name close to it. Children need to use paint or felt tip pens or thick black pens (no biros or pencils).
The end pictures will be 3x3cm so if so the drawings should not be too big – they don't have to be exactly 3cmx3cm, as long as they are square it will work. For smaller children they can do a fingerprint/handprint with a smiley face or similar.
Book cover artworks for the library: Children to draw the cover of their favourite book, or create a cover for a book of their own creation. We need the artworks to be as bold or colourful as possible, and fill a full A4 piece of paper (portrait).
There are boxes for both of these projects in the covered walkway.
AFTER SCHOOL CLUB
Fit for Sport is now called Junior Adventure Group but Darnell is still in charge of the after-school club offering. Kids play various ball games, play in the garden or on the climbing frame; there are also Lego, arts & crafts, and table football plus lots of other fun games such as the current favourite, bench football. Snacks include fruit and healthy wraps. Please talk to Darnell if you have any questions (3.30-6pm everyday).
