13/12/2024 AM-PM Club Update
The Christmas holidays are nearly upon us again! This term the children have enjoyed continuing with their autumn activities, including creating milk bottle lanterns for Diwali and carving some spooky pumpkins.
For winter and Christmas, our scarecrows have been replaced by a family of snowmen! The children have also done a wonderful job of decorating the tree in the front entrance. They have also enjoyed a wide variety of arts and crafts; and have had fun playing Uno. As a treat one afternoon they had hot chocolate at snack time with lots of marshmallows
We hope you all have a lovely Christmas and a happy New Year!
You’re the icing on the cake!
We have been awarded Macmillan’s certificate of appreciation. Thank you once again to everyone who joined us this year to make our annual charity Coffee Morning a huge success. Together we raised £348.27 to help Macmillan do whatever it takes to support people living with cancer.

25/10/2024: Lots of creativity this week at our AM/PM club
There have been lots of spooky inspired fun at our AM/PM club this week. The children have done an excellent job of transforming the centre by adding a touch of magic with their handmade decorations and the fantastic wall art is certainly an eye-catching masterpiece. We have also carved pumpkins, the children worked together in groups to decide on their designs and then helped each other to carve and scoop out the insides. We are well and truly in the Halloween spirit here at the Woolwell Centre!
