Join us for the last two Play Fridays for this seasons where it's all about sensory play and exploratory learning for our youngest visitors. 

These are run as drop in sessions in our Theatre of Curiosity space with a different mini-adventure each month. 

You'll also be able to join in with our daily storytelling session or check out 'Space Explorers', our Planetarium show for little ones.

 

Friday 6 June ' Inside Outside' 

Have you ever met a child that spends hours putting things in pots? Or one that loves climbing into any available box and hiding in there?

On 6 June we'll be all about exploring how things fit, fill, and are enclosed within different boundaries. Activities include den making, wrapping and unwrapping, climbing through tunnels, and shooting things through hoops. 

 

Friday 4 July ' Under the Sea'

This sessions is all about cause and effect. Together we'll exploring how objects change their appearance or substance by combining, mixing and mashing all sorts of materials. 

Join us on 4 July for activates involving costumes and pirate hats, sensory liquid tiles, fishing and boats. 

 

 

Play Friday - 10am-midday. Drop-in sessions throughout the morning.

Please note, these will be the final two sessions of this school year and fall a week later than our normal 'last Friday of the month' because of the May half term.

We'll be back again on Friday 3 October.
