Have you ever dreamed of becoming an architect? Join us and put your design skills to the test as you help the children to plan and build the grandest of sandcastles, with a drawbridge, a moat, and flags flying high on the turrets.

Have you ever dreamed of becoming a mathematician? Join us, and encourage the children to count, as, together, you stack blocks one on top of the other, higher and higher, one, two, three they all fall down!

Have you ever dreamed of becoming a chef-extraordinaire? Join us, and you and the children will sow seeds in the garden, nurturing and harvesting your vegetable crops, cooking them to perfection in a hot and creamy soup for everyone to enjoy. Oh, how yummy.

Have you ever dreamed of becoming an artist? Join us and encourage the children to explore colour and texture as you dig deep in the craft cupboard for glitter and sequins, sculpt models from dough and mix paints to make rainbows.
