We kicked off 2026 with Saturday Kids Club and it was lovely to see everyone back together again and ready to get stuck in.
The children absolutely loved mini LEGO building, throwing themselves into the challenge and we can safely say the adults learned a lot too! We also had painting corner, a salon corner, bead making corner and a computer corner, giving everyone plenty of choice and fun activities to explore.
During story time, the children listened so attentively it was a real pleasure to see such focus and engagement.
As always, refreshments were enjoyed, with hot chocolate in demand We also had cucumber and cheese sandwiches , and families were able to take home sprouts and parsnips, kindly available at Maindee Library… perfect for a root veg curry!
