Maidenhead & Windsor

Fun and learning will go hand in hand at Clewer Youth and Community Centre, Windsor, on Saturday October 20 at an activities morning organised for all the family to mark national Family Learning Week.

The event has been organised by the Windsor and Maidenhead Royal Borough’s family learning team. Highlights will be visits from Basil the Shetland pony and his rabbit, goat and guinea pig friends and ’bug man’ Matt Smith who will bring along giant beetles, giant millipedes, praying mantises and many other creepy crawlies.

There will also be arts and crafts activities – including plate painting and mask making and the chance to learn new computer skills and make personalised room door labels. A storyteller will be relating magical tales.

Representatives of the Royal Borough’s Children’s Information Service will have display stands about the many services available to families and parents and professionals will be offering health, fitness and nutrition advice to families.

Cllr Dorothy Kemp, the Deputy Mayor, will be attending the event.

Cllr Eileen Quick, lead member for Windsor and Maidenhead children’s services, said: “This activity morning is going to be a great opportunity for families to learn and play together. All the community is invited and we are hoping as many people as possible are going to take part in this enjoyable event where they can also get help and advice from professionals.”

The event is free and booking is not required.
