The fun continues at our Testlands Holiday Club sites! โ๏ธ๐
Our Holiday Clubs have been busy with another brilliant mix of learning, creativity, activity and adventure! ๐
From getting outdoors, climbing and exploring together, to learning about nutrition, food groups and what makes a balanced meal ๐๐ฅฆ - there's been plenty to keep young minds and bodies active.
We've also been getting creative with origami, putting our knowledge to the test with nutrition games and challenges, and most importantly, making new friends and having lots of fun along the way! ๐จ๐ง ๐
It's fantastic to see children learning through play, trying new things, building confidence and working together across our Holiday Club sites. ๐๐งก
And we're not finished yet... there's plenty more to come! ๐
