We’ll kick off the week with a farm-themed tuff tray filled with mud, animals, veggies, and a mini farmhouse. Children will get crafty with junk modelling and make their own 3D cows using recycled materials. Outdoor fun continues with the mud kitchen, sand and water stations, and free-range sports games. In the forest school, young explorers will dig, climb, and play among the trees. Back indoors, we’ll craft funny corn-on-the-cob with googly eyes and lolly sticks, and create muddy pig paintings using finger paint and ziplock bags. The afternoon is packed with action as we welcome coaches from Maidenhead United for an exciting football session!

The farm comes to us today! We’re thrilled to welcome Basil Farm who’ll set up a mini petting zoo on site. Children will pet and feed friendly animals while learning about farm life in a safe, hands-on experience full of wonder and giggles. In the afternoon, we’ll get crafty with woolly sheep using cotton wool 🐑 and head outdoors for sports activities and another session in the forest school. It’s a whole farmyard experience!

We’ll begin with farm-themed painting stations using sponges, brushes, and even little hands! There’ll be water play with toy farm animals too—perfect for a splashing, sensory-rich experience. Later, we’ll venture to Oaken Grove Park for a picnic lunch. Back at Holiday Club, we’ll welcome a special visitor: The Reptile Man! Children will meet and hold real reptiles in a fun and interactive session. We’ll end the day on a sweet note by making chocolate chick nests with shredded wheat and melted chocolate.

We’ll start by whipping up fruit milkshakes into a healthy morning snack. Then it’s off to the school library for a story time session. Outside, children will take part in Ducks in the Pond and Feed the Pig target games. We’ll also enjoy farm tattoos and water play with toy animals. In the afternoon, it’s back outdoors for sports on the field, forest school adventures, and lots of creative, energetic play to balance the day beautifully.

We’ll wrap up the week with a bang—and a splash! First up: the Muddy Animal Wash Station, where children “clean” toy animals in bubbly water. Then it’s time for sweet haystack treats made from Rice Krispies. We’ll dive into crafting Hama bead animal coasters or keyrings 🐑, paint handprint chickens 🐔, and join in lively games like Duck Duck Goose, I-Spy on the Farm, and classic farmyard singalongs. Children are invited to bring their bikes or scooters (helmets are compulsory).
