✨🪁 What a wonderful day at our "Up, Up and Away" Family Learning Workshop! 🪁✨
Families came together today for a free arts and crafts session, spending quality time creating their own kites and letting their imaginations soar.The fun continued outside in the garden, where children explored bubble-making and enjoyed watching bubbles float through the air. There were plenty of smiles, laughter, and moments of discovery along the way.
It was lovely to see the wonder and curiosity on the children's faces, and even better to see the the adults getting involved too!
Thank you to everyone who joined us. We can't wait to see you at our next Family Learning event! 💖
