Discover a delightful after school experience designed especially for children aged 5 to 10. This engaging program combines traditional literacy skills with creative expression, encouraging young minds to connect deeply with popular children's stories. Each session offers a unique opportunity for your child to create art inspired by the stories read together.
Children will use mixed materials to craft their own artwork, making the stories come alive through hands-on creativity. This is a wonderful way to foster both a love of reading and artistic skills in a supportive environment.
Expect a fun, interactive session where your child can express themselves and take home a special piece of art that celebrates their learning and imagination.
The event runs on Thursday, 3 September 2026, from 16:00 to 17:00. It is free to attend but places are limited, so booking in advance is essential to secure your child's spot.
