With the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness well and truly upon us a calm has fallen over the Topsy Turvy Club. Many of the older children have departed for school and pre-school, leaving the club with a lower attendance and average age.
It means we aim a little lower with the art and craft table as toddlers are happy to simply colour something in. But we still have the usual tussles over the ride-on toys. Sometimes I think we could fill Stratton Village Hall with tractors, but the children would still fight over their favourite one. We will start our November programme with fireworks pictures, the children always love using the chalks to create their masterpieces. Later in the month, Helen Ellis is coming in to take the children's photographs, and we are already looking forward to December when Pheonix Cards will be in with some goodies for us to buy. We are very lucky to have such a brilliant hall to host our group, people come from far and wide to use our facilities and sample our hospitality. If you are a new mum, dad, grandparent why not bring your little one along to Stratton Village Hall on a Tuesday morning between 10am and 11.30am. The club is suitable from newborn to pre-school age, it only costs £1 and refreshments are included. Come and have a topsy turvy time!
