Thursday 30th August 2018


It was all about performance today, and performance was us today.




We shared our magic tricks and learnt new ones - with elastic bands, pencils, paper and cards. No fools in the house and plenty of tricksters.




We also organised a talent show for all, and in their age groups, the children chose and practiced both solo acts and team numbers. What takent should would it be without “Mamma Mia” or “The Greatest Showman”, gymnastics and dance?!




The Moving Image workshop was excellent fun too, with its tricks of the trade, green screen secret and special effects.


Last but not least, the Pop Dance session was a hoot, with rocky tunes and warmup, stretch, new moves and great grooves.




Can we bear to say goodbye tomorrow? Can we make it the most magnificent end to the summer holiday this Friday? You will have to come and see.




With best wishes,

Today’s theme was History and you know what, we did plenty of it.

First up was Henry VIII who appeared in person, full-height and full-on, with his larger-than-life personality and nothing-in-impossible attitude. Joking aside, the actor-impersonator truly brought history to life, telling the story of Tudors, their continental relations and all that has impacted Britain to this day. It got scary at times, with graphic descriptions of executions, but the session ended with music played on medieval instruments, including that very familiar tune called Greensleeves.

The groups also played games, made a Three-in-a-Row board and drew impressive, elaborate portraits of that most controversial Tudor, Henry.

We are back for adventure and learning tomorrow, hoping the weather will hold for us.

With best wishes,

The Holiday Scheme Team
