Wednesday 23rd
Giant Inflatables - Sports Hall take over (single sessions)
This will stop them bouncing off the walls during half term!
They’ll get to go wild with all their favourite giant inflatables in one place. There’s no need for you to worry though, our fully trained staff are on hand to keep them safe.
Available during the day kids will be able to select this as part of the standard hour session on the general timetable.
Recycled Art Attack (single sessions)
The seaweed is greener at Barracudas! The children will get creative and create something beautiful out of something which would have otherwise been thrown away.
We’ll look at some of the animals and plants that live in the sea and consider how their shapes and colours can be best interpreted by combining the materials to hand.
Children will have to be resourceful and get creative to produce their masterpiece from the varied items they have available to them.
Yoghurt pots, bottles, cans and lots of other recycled items will be transformed to create an underwater themed metropolis which will be displayed at the registration and collection area of camp on the final Friday.
Thursday 24th
Dance Masters
4½ - 6 year olds: 9.30am - 12.40pm

This extended session will replace the standard activities over the morning for 4½ - 6 year olds and afternoon sessions for children who are 7 years old and over.
This will be led by Sarah Monkman who is a fully qualified dance instructor. Sarah started dancing at 13 years old and then went on to perform with The Sarasota Ballet in Florida for a number of years before returning to the area in 2017 to teach dance at her former school.
Although her professional career has been with Ballet, she has a lot of experience in many styles of dance throughout her training at London Studio Centre and played Macavity in a Cambridge rendition of CATS in 2018.

The recycled art attack continues, this time with a tricky twist.
We will be looking at how to use recycled items to create the components of Halloween themed games that the children will then play with on the Friday Theme Day.
