An African Adventure

3/31/2021

We would like to share with you our trip to Kenya.
After reading the story 'Handa's surprise' we were visited by a very important person called Akinyi. She was the project manager for a building company in Kenya who needed our help. She had asked us to build a school in Handa's village. How would the school look? What materials would we need? How are Kenyan schools different to our school?

Here we are building the school. But oh no! Disaster strikes! An elephant has trampled on the new school. What shall we do?
We made a documentary about our story and what had happened at Handa's new school.

with a respectful nod of appreciation to Sir David Attenborough who has inspired us all!

Fire Fire! The Great Fire of London

We travelled back in time to London in 1666. We met George, a young baker, who asked us for help. He was so worried about starting his new job at the bakery in Pudding Lane. He was worried he wouldn't be able to read the recipes and what equipment he might need. We wrote lists and instructions to help him.
But something awful happened....As George was leaving the bakery, he noticed the cinders in the oven still alight.
George discovered the fire in the early hours of the 2nd of September 1666. We imagined what would we do? What would we say? How would we help?
We must get the people of London to safety.

We received a message from King Charles.
CITIZENS OF LONDON, you are summoned to the Court of King Charles II IMMEDIATELY.
We had been asked to help rebuild the city of London. We got to work straight away. What shops might we have seen in London in 1666? What signs might have been outside the shop?

We wrote a report to the king, explaining the events leading up to the fire to ensure that it never happens again.

Enhanced provision in Alps

In Alps we have been enhancing our learning of the Great Fire of London through independent activities. Here are some of the things we have been getting up to!

Happy Easter!

We're going on an egg hunt...we're going to find a big one....

Sessions will be planned for 6hrs but please be aware, that if they receive a high demand for places like they did for previous holiday clubs, and have continued limited staffing availability, they may have to reduce the sessions to 3hrs to try to ensure that all families that apply have fair and equal access to the support.
Please be assured that they will do their utmost to provide a 6hr session if possible as they do understand how important this support is to you and your family.

The guidance below is subject to change in line with AFC and government guidelines. The health and welfare of the children and young people and AFC staff are our highest priority and there will continue be procedures in place for us to limit the risks as much as possible which are as follows:
Parents/carers will be requested to notify Shropshire Community Short Breaks as soon as possible if their child/ren, test positive for Covid 19 and must not attend any sessions. All AFC staff/agency workers will wear a facial mask to support C&YP inside buildings. If there is any risk of spreading the virus via oral secretions or first aid is needed to be applied, then staff will have to wear a full facial plastic visor in addition to the facial mask, gloves and apron. Personal care will be undertaken but staff will be required to wear full PPE. Any young person who requires hoisting for personal care will be taken to a changing place to support where available. (If your child / young person requires specialist nursing care please contact us directly). Children and young people will be allocated a worker(s) who will remain with them during the whole session. Social distancing measures will be put into place where possible. Physical intervention is always a last resort but if your child/ren is known to require physical intervention then a full risk assessment will need to be completed on how we can support your child. Sessions will take place in venues and out in the community
