Field for the Olympics and strawberries

A very productive day at stay & play and garden club.  We made a whole range of olympic junk puppets, and also puppets took part in story time and songs after.  We made up the story with the children, which (of course) ended on the olympic message, mate, 'It's more important to compete than to win'.

Strawberries are just turning red and juicy, and with a little weeding, lots of other fruit ripening nicely all over the garden.  Gardening tots also made Bob the Biker, the infamous pirate, among other Olympic puppets, as yet unnamed.  More puppet making tomorrow!

Pools of light, winter wonderland and Stay & Play

Below is some interesting things going on in our patch.  Stay and Play will be OPEN at KHCC this Wednesday 9:30 to 11:30.  Older children welcome - we are making extra provision/ activities for older ones.

Fair Food Art

First of a couple of food art workshops at the stay & play in the garden.  A mix of fairtrade and locally foraged fruit and nuts rolled, cut, printed.

Thanks to Sioban and Ali bringing in materials and helping to make Herman during stay and play.

Just one last touch...
