Coming up later this month, and on the last Sunday of every month, is Connect at 4. This is a short event held at St Thomas Church, Mow Cop, ST7 3PJ, from 4:00-4:45 and is designed for children aged 5-10.
It's awesome. Entry is free, and there's a wide range of structured and well-thought-out activities which fill the 45 minutes. There's a quick intro and a prayer, then a multiple choice quiz with 10-12 questions on the topic for the month. This has varied from Pancake Day to the Coronation, from Advent to Easter, and there are prizes for the highest scorers. This is followed by a choice of activities - we've taken part in an Easter Egg hunt, a leaf craft with air-drying clay, pin the crown on the King, and a "How high can you toss a pancake?"!
There are drinks provided throughout, and a quick wrap-up at the end. We always come home with a craft, and sometimes a prize for our efforts.
This is highly recommended for all sorts of reasons, and one event which has permanent residence on our calendar!
