SEE BELOW FOR THE FUN WE HAD AT OCTOBER HALF TERM 2025:

Rhythms of the Diaspora – These morning sessions fuses styles from across the African and Caribbean diaspora — including Azonto (Ghana), Afrohouse (Angola), Ndombolo (Congo), Amapiano (South Africa), and Dancehall (Jamaica). Combining movement with cultural context, games, and group interaction to create a fun and meaningful experience for all the age groups

Sport with Coach Julie Nworgu – promoting the key components of fitness – skills, teamwork, and confidence building. From netball, handball, football and much more, developing skills and friendly competition

Art with Laura x Carle (Mon, Tues, Fri) and Flora Robson (Wed and Thurs)
 Bring Edvard Munch’s The Scream to life in your own cartoon — what might he be shouting about today? Younger children can focus on expressive faces, while older ones design full comic scenes.

Kusama Lanterns – Making glowing lanterns inspired by Yayoi Kusama’s dots, colour, and light. Little ones can collage simple shapes; older children can create detailed patterns and layered designs. https://artfulparent.com/yayoi-kusama-inspired-dot-paintings

Skeleton Puppets – Build and decorate dancing skeleton puppets inspired by Day of the Dead art (what is Dios de los Meurtos?). Simple cut-and-stick for younger artists, articulated skeletons with moving joints for older ones!

Spooky Printmaking – Creating playful monsters and halloween patterns with stamp sand paint inspired by artist Paul Klee.
Thursday 30th Halloween party – come in costume or make one for an Autumn/Halloween Catwalk, and ‘cold-cooking’ party food (incl. cinnamon spice, apples, ginger) and party decorations. 

What do they do in Autumn?!
️Autumn is a busy time for animals as they prepare for winter, with species like hedgehogs, bats, and  dormice entering hibernation, while squirrels gather nuts and birds migrate or arrive to overwinter  In this season you may find foxes foraging, birds flocking, hear owls hunting, and see how their behaviour alters  
 Near the time of the autumnal equinox, the angle of the Moon’s orbit relative to Earth’s horizon is at its minimum, causing the full moon to rise above the horizon much faster than usual. The full-moon looks 14% bigger and 20% brighter because it’s at the closest point to Earth in its orbit. This happens because the Moon’s orbit around earth is not a perfect circle – therefore a ‘super-moon’ (Hunter’s moon) in October 
Why is autumn such a special time and why so many cultures have festivals at this time of year? We can share which festivals the children know and celebrate during morning circle time after drop off time at 10 am

Afternoons and break times: Making dens, STEM, STEAM and science activities, dressing up, percussion instruments, board games, book corner, Lego, role play/imaginative games, and playground time!

To encourage reading over the holidays we have a ‘book box’ at the gate for swapping books for all ages – please take advantage of this!

Terms and Conditions apply, and we reserve the right to change venue or any part of the programme to best accommodate the children’s needs.
