At the Beach Week 3

4-8 August

At the Beach

Get ready for sunshine, sea creatures, and sandy fun as we dive into Summer Beach Week at the Junior Holiday Club! This week is packed with hands-on activities, sensory play, beach-themed crafts, refreshing treats, and a very special day out to bring the beach to life.

As well as the thoughtfully planned timetable of activities below, each day, children have the choice to take part in a variety of sports and physical activities like basketball, football, skipping, bouldering and bench ball, as well as a wide selection of arts and crafts materials to choose from. They will also enjoy lots of free-time in between scheduled activities where they can play board games, colouring, Lego competitions, group games, dress ups, junk modelling and more.

See below for what we have in store each day.

Monday 4 August

We’ll kick off the week with a beach-themed tuff tray filled with sand and water to ignite the senses. The children will make fresh homemade lemonade to enjoy with their morning snack. A trip to the library will inspire young minds during story time, followed by creative arts and crafts including jellyfish decorations, beach scenes on paper plates, and colourful paper fans to help us cool off. The afternoon is packed with action as we welcome coaches from Maidenhead United for an exciting football session! The day wraps up with outdoor group games like Stuck in the Mud.

Tuesday 5 August

We’ll start the day with a sea creature and shaving foam sensory tray, sparking imagination and curiosity. Children will get creative with junk modelling and icy sea-themed paintings, and enjoy a baking session where they’ll decorate their own beach cupcakes. We’ll also dive into lemonade-themed collages. In the afternoon, the fun continues outdoors with exciting field games using a variety of sports equipment perfect for developing motor skills and teamwork. The children will also venture into our forest school to explore nature, climb, and discover hidden treasures among the trees. We’ll end the day with a game of I-Spy: Beach Edition

Wednesday 6 August

It’s time for our exciting trip! We’ll begin with a picnic at Boyn Grove Park (Punt Hill) before heading to Norden Farm for a full beach day experience. Children will take part in creative workshops— bringing the seaside indoors for a fun-filled outing!

Thursday 7 August

Our sailing-themed tuff tray, filled with boats and water, sets the stage for a day of imaginative play. Children will get hands-on with crafts including salt dough starfish, layered beach sand jars, and mini fishbowl aquariums. Later, we’ll head outdoors for field games for mini obstacle courses, relay races, and ball games. The forest school will welcome us once more for nature exploration, leaf and stick sensory play, and building nature-inspired creations. We’ll end the day with a relaxing story time session—the perfect way to wind down.

Friday 8 August

To round off our beach week, children will make sandcastles, create cheeky crab crafts, and play bench ball in small groups. We’ll also craft sea-themed sensory bottles, build paper cup lighthouses, and take on high-energy group games like tug of war and a limbo challenge. We will wrap up the week with an epic forest scavenger hunt. It’s a week full of sunshine, sea, and smiles—the perfect summer celebration for our little beachgoers!

Each day, children can take part in a variety of sport and physical activities like basketball, football, skipping, bouldering and bench ball, as well as enjoy a variety of free-time activities including board games, colouring in, Lego competitions, group games, and a wide selection of arts and crafts materials to choose from.
