Playscheme 2024
Time has flown by with Friday seeing the end of another successful playscheme. It has been a busy 8 days for the staff and children with so many fun activities taking place, including:
- Slime and playdough making
- T-shirt design
- Pottery Painting
- Bracelet workshop
- Heaps of arts and crafts
- Animal meet and greet with Wild Science including snakes, giant snails and fluffy bunnies.
- Football, tennis and much more
With the beautiful weather, both Friday fun days meant we could make most of being outside with an inflatable assault course and bouncy castle on the field, as well as Didi cars and an ice cream station.
We are grateful to Footie 4 Tots, PC James Phillips our local BEAT police officer and Callum Adams the paramedic who gave up their time for free to visit and entertain the children. It was amazing to see them so engaged and interested.
We wouldn’t have been able to do all this without those who sponsor and/or offer their time to assist us in the running of the playscheme.
We would like to say a big thank you to Bray and Sons who kindly transport all the playscheme equipment before and after each year, free of charge.
Our thanks go to The Oak on the Green and the Bearsted for donations towards the daily fruit snacks. JD Bush Decorators, Kent County Council, Thurnham, Boxley and Downswood Parish Councils for their donations to the running costs. Also thank you to BP leisure and workwear for sponsoring our staff t-shirts.
Lastly a huge THANK YOU to Amanda and Jo for running yet another great playscheme for 2024.
