Woodhill Way craft morning
We went to the Traveller site at Woodhill way with METAS and Hidden Voices to do some activities with the children. We had colouring in sheets, mobiles to make and models to build. It was really well attended by both children and adults, the kids were all fantastic and made some great pictures and mobiles.
