Time: 10:00 to 12:00-both dates.
Details: Ginny-07894033324
Wed 4th April – Concentrating on all tasks (Age 3+-6 years)
Concentration can be hard, especially if we are not keen on what we are required to concentrate on! With a little mental shift, we will recognise that concentration can be quite interesting!
Wed 11th April – Building a Village Together (Age 4-8 years)
This workshop will inspire children to be an important member of a team, and to value everyone’s contributions. An insight into the importance of others and accepting differences as well as similarities. Being creative, and thinking big!
DIAMOND BLADE
Diamond Blade Fencing Club is offering a fun and unique experience for children 5-12 years old who have no experience or at beginner level. Not only is fencing a beautiful and elegant sport by the nature of it’s movements, it’s also a very broad discipline as it teaches your MIND & BODY to work together. One learns to think and move fast. It also challenges your reaction time against your opponent so you learn to make decisions very quickly – otherwise, you get hit! And THAT is an invaluable life skill. The techniques can be taught and learned slowly and methodically, allowing a fencer to develop a good memory and gain patience and perseverance along the way. Fencing is a well-rounded sport and some of the other topics covered are:
- Foundation, history and techniques of fencing
- Coordination Drills
- Agility and Strength Exercises
- Respect and Discipline
- Sportsmanship
- Development of fine motor skills
- Focus & Concentration

LITTLE HANDS
Little Hands Design holiday classes are a great opportunity for children to channel their creativity. Boys and girls are welcome to join in and let their creativity run wild. They can make clothes and accessories using free design as well as patterns.
The classes are suitable for all sewing skills levels, age 6+ to 18. Each student works on their own project, depending on their ability. We take them from the level they are at, for example complete beginners start by learning how to thread the machine, get the settings right depending on the fabric and then start making a starter project. Once they are confident, they can choose more complex projects incorporating new sewing skills. They get to choose the project and fabric, most of it being Ted Baker donated fabric – all materials and haberdashery are included in the price. Children hand sew and use sewing machines and, depending on skills, an overlocker.
It is a fashion fun week where students learn about fashion design, sustainability and recycling. At the end of the day parents are greeted with a loud: “I made it myself!!”
