October Playscheme Fun!

As always during the school holidays, Remark! Community ran a jam-packed schedule of fun for both Primary and Secondary school aged children. 

The younger groups from both North and South London kicked off the week with a trip to the delightful Little Angel Theatre. Little Angel Theatre are renowned for their puppet work and entertaining children of all ages. They’ve recently committed to have a BSL performance of all their in-house productions. Not only that but they rearranged the date of the access show just for us, so a huge thanks to them for making us feel so welcome. On this occasion we saw The King of Nothing, a superb retelling of The Emperor’s New Clothes. The children were engaged throughout, loving the audience interaction, and surprisingly happy to hand over lunch boxes and backpacks to the two swindlers of the piece! (Don’t worry all was returned!) 

We had a special visit from Children in Need on Thursday. They spoke to some of the group and filmed our activities. Keep an eye out for us on BBC in November! 

Other highlights of the week included trips to TOCA the football game box experience and the terrifying London Tombs. Almost all the group came out alive… 

All this mixed in with board games, Halloween arts and crafts, table tennis and Mario Kart made for an entertaining week for the children and an exhausting one for the staff! 

The week was rounded off with a Halloween party expertly hosted by Fahima the Vampire. Sweets, face paints, fake blood and fun all flowing freely! Try saying that with a pair of fake fangs in!
