Tuesday – The great outdoors – the day will be focused at our amazing Heath Gardens area and will include fun outdoor activities such as den building; nature based scavenger hunts and seed bomb making.
Wednesday – Sports Day – The day will be focused around different inclusive sports activities, such as new age kurling, boccia, relay races, ball games and lots more. The focus will be on team work and of course, having lots of fun!
Thursday – Bowling and Pizza – the day will include going to Hollywood Bowl (Riverside, Norwich) and playing a couple of games of bowling before going out for Pizza.
Friday – A day at the seaside – the day will involve traveling to a local beach and enjoying a spot of crazy golf, a coastal walk and some beach games.
In the event of heavy rain we will amend the activities on Tuesday and Friday to something more appropriate to the weather.
