The Easter Trail proved popular with nearly 200 children completing the trail across the holiday period. 22 local businesses got involved displaying Bramble Bunny’s lost items, for the children to find. All the children received a book when they returned their map and three children, Niamh, Sebastian and Nakshatra, won the main prize of a soft toy (Bramble and his two friends) and an Easter egg!
There were taster sport sessions to join with qualified coach, Zaire Taylor, from Worthing Thunder teaching basketball skills and Jimmy Smith, and his team, from Encore Tennis teaching tennis skills. A large number of children attended the 5 sessions over the holidays and picked up new skills!
Over 50 Children visited the Kiln for Easter bonnet making with the Burgess Hill Creative Community on Monday 14th. The children then paraded from the Kiln and headed on a loop around Church Walk so the children could show off their wonderful creations! After all the hard work the children tucked into a yummy picnic back at the Kiln!
On Tuesday 8th coach Niki, from Gosport BMX had children and young people (even the teenagers!!) fully engaged during the Rock Up and Ride coaching sessions. They learnt how to use the track better and make their jumps higher, whilst DJ Matt blared out the best tunes!
38 families attended the Family Fun Sessions, for families of children with SEND on Monday 7th. Children enjoyed a whole range of activities including graffiti art with Tom an inflatable assault course and the Hot Wheel tracks from WoW Sussex. They also enjoyed story time with author Julie Alison McDonald and learnt sign language with Makaton Jenny. There were also several organisations attending with information for families.
