Yay!! School's out for Christmas! I don't know about other parents, but this term always feels two weeks too long!We've collated some fun things to do in and around Chiswick during the school holidays:
'Do you Want to Build a Snowman?'
Saturday 18th: 10:30am & 11:30am
Chiswick House will be running a festive workshop where children 5+ can make their very own sock snowman and decorate a Christmas card with a picture of their creation taking centre stage!
Myths & Adventures from Ancient Greece
If you can't face another Christmas movie and you don't want to rug up and go out - this could be the solution: Watermans is bringing Ancient Greece to life on their YouTube channel. Children will enter a miniature world full of exciting 10-minute adventures in this new series, with the insect Hope as their guide. Hope journeys into the world of Ancient Greece to escape Pandora's Box, warn King Midas of his greed, seek Persephone in the Underworld and help Theseus defeat the Minotaur.
