Eco sessions
This year we are delighted to be running our Eco Sessions again, 9.30am-12noon every Tuesday and Thursday throughout the summer holidays (not 4/6/11 August). During these sessions the children are invited to take part in forest school type activities such as shelter building, mud play, charcoal making and bug hunts. Booking is essential as places are limited – the sessions cost £3 per child. Priority is normally given to registered children aged 5-8.
On Tuesday 18 August Froglife will be running our Eco Session – it will be open to children aged 12 and under
Toddler Group
Don’t forget that our Toddler Group meets 2pm-4pm during the summer holidays. Older siblings can play next door in our adventure playground. More details at www.newarkplay.co.uk/toddler-group.
Important dates
The final day of our summer holiday programme is Friday 4th September – we will no doubt be having a party/celebration on that day watch our Facebook page for an announcement
On Monday 7th September our preschool playgroup resumes. There will be no playground afterschool sessions that week due to our repairs and maintenance week – afterschool sessions resume on Monday 14 September. It is essential that parents requiring afterschool walkover from Newark Hill School book in advance.
