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!
