Children’s Holiday Club
23rd – 27th July 2007
WASTEWATCHERS was this year's children's holiday club (for children at school aged 5-11 years) organised by Upton Methodist Church. The club ran every morning from Monday 23rd to Friday 27th July 2007 from 10 am till 12 noon. About 90 children turned up each day and we had a fantastic week jam-packed full of craft activities, quizzes, songs, Bible stories, Sooty & Sweep (and Squawky the Bird!) and basically all kinds of fun and games (including scrummy biscuits) - all with an environmental theme.
The week wrapped up with an extra-special WASTEWATCHERS service on Sunday 29th July at 10:30 am for all ages followed by a barbecue lunch.
During the week we had all the usual favourite activities and a few new ones too:
|
|
A range of cool craft activities - all on a green theme and most using recycled materials | |
|
|
A short Bible story presented through storytelling and cartoon animation on DVD each day. | |
|
|
Drinks & Rona's yummy homemade biscuits each morning. | |
|
|
Team games to test the skills of the Wastewatchers! | |
|
|
Some great songs - all with lots of actions. I think we must have burned off a few calories! |
|
|
|
Sooty and Sweep (and their mates) were back in full effect - acting out the stories for themselves (or trying to at any rate!) and testing the Wastewatchers on what they could remember. |

|
|
The Messy Bit - Oh yes! We just couldn't do a Holiday Club without it! This was the first time I'd ever used flour, water, baked beans, mushy peas and cold custard all in one messy game! You had to be there!!! |

|
On Your Bike - a brand new feature which involved a person being interviewed for 60 seconds about their Christian faith - whilst they are pedalling an exercise bike! |
