Grove Cottage Newsletter - April 2021
We are Back!
It has been fantastic opening up our clubs over the last few weeks. Our Saturday Clubs, Performing Arts Club, Get Active Club and Adult Support sessions are all up and running with Covid measures firmly in place. Staff and members alike have literally been counting down sleeps to when we return! We haven't seen some of our members for over a year so it has been with huge excitement that we come together again.

The children have been planting hanging baskets and making wonderful Easter cards, Get Active members have been playing football, badminton and basketball and enjoying competing in friendly running races.
 
Bingo and Play your Cards Right have become firm favourites at Adult Support sessions, while our Performing Arts members and staff felt like they had been to a party as they all had such a good time back at their first session since October 2020.
 
We would like to thank South Mill Arts Centre and Northgate Primary School without whom we would not have been able to open up so many of our clubs. Thank you to all our members and their families for supporting us over the last year and helping us maintain our new procedures in clubs.
Nursery Activities
Our Nursery children have been busy with lots of creative activities linking to their 'On the Farm' topic which they have added to the Nursery display board. They have made handprint ducks and cows, foot print carrots and cotton wool sheep. They also celebrated St George’s Day by making some lovely flags.
Bunny Run
Well done and thank you to all those who took part in our Bunny Run in March including Lara who achieved a personal best for 5km and Tracy and her team of 13 people from Waitrose in Bishop's Stortford who raised an amazing £123! It's very much appreciated. 
Thames Bridges Trek
Why not join 2,000 trekkers to venture across the Capital in a 25km walk taking in unrivalled views of the skyline from its best vantage points. Setting out from Putney Bridge, zig-zagging over the array of historic bridges, each with its fascinating story and a midpoint stop at Kennington Oval for some snacks and drinks. You can SIGN UP HERE
