Lots of Halloween fun this week…

🎃 Giant pumpkins at the allotments
🎃 Pumpkin paper plates
🎃 Pumpkin painting and pumpkins cookies at playgroup ToriArts Studios
🎃 Spotting the pumpkins around Wellington and solving the riddle to win a prize
🎃 Cinema trip to see The Adams Family Wellington Orbit
🎃 Potion making at Wrekin Forest School & Adventure Centre

Thank you very much to James of Shrewsbury & Telford Family Grapevine for updating our online article in their Summer magazine to report on the success of Drama in the Forest and advertise Spooky Drama in the Forest.

Please read the lovely feedback.

Having been waylaid by my son and myself having to self-isolate last week as we both tested positive (luckily we had mild symptoms), I'd truly appreciate ANY help in getting back on track getting the word out about 'Spooky Drama in the Forest' at Wrekin Forest School on the 28th October - full details are listed here:

https://thefamilygrapevine.co.uk/shrewsbury-telford/events/13538/

We have 10 spaces filled and we'd love to find 6 more children to add their unique colourful spark to the mix. ❤️

Ps. The full magazine can be found here: https://bit.ly/3wrXi9E
Would your child like to be a part of Spooky 👻 Drama 🎭 in the Forest 🌳 at Wrekin Forest School this October half-term?

🧙‍♀️ This will be a very friendly, fun outdoors workshop for 7-12 year olds where participants get to make a wand and craft a performance involving magical spells and wizardry, costing £35 per participant. 🧙‍♂️

Places are already filling up so you’d best get onto your broomsticks 🧹 and fly on over! 🧙✨😄
So with the wonderful warm weather we’ve been outside lots this week - walks to feed the ducks, splashing around in the garden, off to forest school!

We’ve been building with mega bloks and lego…we even built a castle for Mickey Mouse.

Lots of messy play at playgroup on Tuesday, and play dough play at group on Wednesday.

We made Calzone style pizzas at forest school which were a huge hit with everyone!

We worked on writing our names and ABCs and we’ve made beds out of boxes and yoga mats!

Phew! Busy week but so much fun 🥳

Yay 😁 we have our two volunteers for Drama 🎭 in the Forest 🌳 starting on the 16th August Wrekin Forest School & Adventure Centre!

It was a total delight to meet Alex and Ella, and Ella’s mum Louise, today under the shade of a cooling tree 🌳 in Victoria Park in Newport.

Now the team of workshop leaders is complete, we are a team of four with Becky and myself 😊

Thank you very much to Sam White V.A. for her admin work this week behind the scenes, and to Lynne, Phil and Ed for also helping with looking after our son and me behind the scenes today... Car service & MOT did not go to plan! 🙃🙂🙃
Here’s the Grape 🍇 vine article on 'Drama in the Forest' at Wrekin Forest School so easier to read.

Link to the magazine (I hope!) :

🕊 The early bird offer of £87 ends this Friday 16th July - there’s a few more places available to be snatched up! 🕊
Two enthusiastic 🤩 drama 🎭 students sought to support our current project, Drama 🎭 in the Forest 🌳 - please pass on to those who you think may be interested, and ask them to apply by this Sunday! 🙏😊
