Please find enclosed our Holiday Programme for December2015 & January 2016.
The programme was created in consultation with the children; we strive to promote a child
centred approach as much as possible. Children attend the club in their free time therefore
we try to make their time here as fun and enjoyable as possible and we aim to follow their
lead on activities and play throughout the day.
The children will have the opportunity to take part in a wide balance and variety of activities
along with those on the plan such as sports, swimming, construction play, role play, board
games, parachute games and lots of outdoor play.
We aim to be outside with the children as much as possible and on very nice days we will take
tables, chairs, art activities, games etc out too.
Trips
We are only planning trips within the local area. There will be no additional costs and mode of
transport will be by foot. Please ensure your child has appropriate clothing for the weather.
Can we ensure that your child has the following when attending on holiday days:

For those days when we aren’t so lucky, rain jackets and wellies as we are aiming to be
outside as much as possible.

Appropriate clothing and footwear for indoors/ outdoors/ weather and sports
activities.

Children to wear old clothes as children will be doing lots of messy activities and a
change of clothes for your child in case of getting wet.

We provide healthy morning and afternoon snacks.

Remember a packed lunch if attending all day sessions. A packed lunch can also be
included on morning sessions if you wish. Lunch is at 12.15pm. Please provide a cold
packed lunch for your child as we are unable to reheat food. We would be obliged if
lunches contained no peanut butter/nutella etc as there are children who attend
the club with allergies.

A water bottle so children can take a drink with them while they are playing outdoors
and on trips.
