Half Term Activities to keep the kids busy

Havering Council has a range of fun activities taking place to keep the borough’s school children entertained this half-term, which begins on Monday 16 February.

Children aged three to seven can enjoy Bedtime Stories at a number of Havering Libraries throughout the break. They are invited to put on their pyjamas, bring their favourite teddy bear, and listen to bedtime reads.

There will be a free Sport Camp taking place all week (Monday to Friday) with activities including football, cricket, rounders, tag rugby, a non-contact form of the sport, and uni-hoc, which is street hockey. In addition, there will be specialist disability sports, including table-cricket.
Sessions run from 10am to 12.30pm and 1.30pm to 4pm, with groups split into two age groups, eight to 12 and 13 to 18. The Sport Camp takes place at Brittons School and Kingswood School.
Teenagers have their own Teenzone at Gidea Park Library on Tuesday 17 February from 6pm to 7pm where they can take part in activities including table football and the music video game Guitar Hero.

On Thursday 19 February, children aged six and above can take part in a Cross Stitch Initial workshop from 2pm to 4pm at Gidea Park Library. There they will learn to cross stitch their initials.

Also on Thursday gaming fans can head to Hornchurch Library to take part in the weekly Warhammer sessions from 4.30pm to 6.15pm. Entry costs £1 and young people aged up to 20 are welcome.
