October is Family Learning Month

Warwickshire County Council Services have come together to offer a wide variety of activities to help families learn together in venues across the Stratford District throughout October.

Extended Services, Adult and Community Learning and Children’s Centres have put their heads together to create an exciting programme of activities for local families.  The FLAME programme starts on Wednesday 1 October running right the way through the month to Saturday the 1 November including half term.

FLAME will be delivering over 40 exciting workshops across South Warwickshire with activities including; Family First Aid with St Johns Ambulance, building a rocket, making slime or challenging the parents in an electromagnetic tug of war with Mad Science; learning Spanish with El Club Espagnol, making mosaic mirrors or memory books, practising the art of posture, breathing and relaxation with Yogabugs, various sport activities plus the Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Parents, grandparents, carers and children are welcome to attend any activity together in any location.  All workshops are one off sessions with specific activities catering for children as young as two and a half to young people up to 16 years. 
The activities will be delivered across the Stratford district in schools, Children’s Centres and community venues and must be booked in advance.  Some activities carry a fee payable at the time of booking. 

For a more information or to book a place please contact Jo Rolls on 01926 640465, e-mail rolls.j@we-learn.com or write to Jo Rolls, Extended Services Coordinator, Kineton High School, Banbury Road, Kineton, Warwickshire, CV35 0JX.
