Time Step Fun at St Marks is one of the very few events that is happening right in the middle of princes end. It is open to children from 5 to 12 years, boys and girls. We are bringing in exciting activities and giving young people new experiences that they may not have had before. The church is right in the heart of the estate so easily accessible on foot and is close to several local primary schools, so parents won’t have far to go to find us. Most holiday time activities tend to be further afield and therefore require some kind of transport. Ours club is right on the doorstep therefore it is easily accessible to local people on foot.

This holiday club will be an amazing experience for the children as it will give them many experiences they may not have had before. They will get to meet and learn about an array of animals and insects, thereby increasing their knowledge of the natural world, the habitats and the importance of taking care of animals and their homes.. They will learn about how vegetables are grown and why they are essential for a balanced diet. They will enjoy a hearty meal at lunch time as well as fruit snacks available throughout the day. This will give them a correctly proportioned meal incorporating all food groups which will give them a store of energy for the physical activities. The Crafting will allow the children to express their creative sides using colouring, sticking and gluing. The gymnastics and fun active games will help to boost their physical and emotional wellbeing as well as releasing some energy. Exercise releases feel good hormones as well as helping with fitness. The whole day will allow children to mix together and make new friends. This is a great way for them to learn basic social skills which was something that has been difficult over the last few years.
