New St Patrick's Day Activities and Lots More...

Friday 10th March This week we've been looking ahead to St Patrick's Day and the Hindu spring festival of Holi. We've revisited our Transport topic and some favourite Dr Seuss characters, and continued our journey through the African animal kingdom with the warthog! We've also added a brand new activity which we hope you will enjoy as much as we do - Mental Maths Gym! For the last few years we have been asked to share a collection of Red Nose Day activities with our visitors, and this year is no exception. Red Nose Day is on Friday 24th and you will find lots of fundraising ideas to inspire you in this collection and on the Red Nose Day website. What's New at Activity Village ...

George Dorsey "We are never more fully alive, more completely ourselves, or more deeply engrossed in anything than when we are playing." Charles Schaefer "It is a happy talent to know how to play." Ralph Waldo Emerson "Play is our brain’s favorite way of learning." Diane Ackerman "Life is more fun if you play games." Roald Dahl "Play builds the kind of free-and-easy, try-it-out, do-it-yourself character that our future needs."
