Activities during the first week involved making Easter cards, chicks and eggs, the children also had a great time making their own pizzas and the older children enjoyed a trip out to Telford Town Park. At our large family Hostel the children had a wonderful time outside in the garden planting flowers and herbs; it was a new experience for many of our young gardeners discovering textures and aromas of the herbs.

We also had an egg hunt in the garden which was great fun, with all the children being very excited, especially as it involved chocolate for prizes.

During the second week of the Easter break, activities included cooking and decorating biscuits, making chocolate nests with eggs and fun using the dance mat. We also arranged two trips to the cinema, one for the younger children with their mums and one for the older children.
