Friday 31st August 2018

Last day of the Scheme and the last day of the summer, with both sadness and excitement. The Holiday Scheme was one large party headquarters today, as the groups separated and started preparations for the afternoon’s fun.

That is not to say that there was no fun in the morning; far from it. Part of the morning was taken up by a Ukelele workshop delivered by Matthew. We learnt that the ukelele comes from the Hawaii, and in the native language it means ‘a little bird’. And it is little, which makes it easyto handle. Before practicing, we did some rythm and movement exercises, created our own beats and sang an African tune.

The big show, that is our Party, came on after reflections on the summer. The stars of the older-aged group took care of the music, the invitations and the decorations, pulling resources and giving it their all.

We were touched by the kindness of the children’s cards thanking the team here for the fond memories and fun friends. It goes without saying that we will miss the amazing children and will be counting weeks till the next school holidays. So watch this space!

With best wishes,

The Holiday Scheme Team
