This week sees the Summer Fun event at Phoenix Park on Wednesday 28th July between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Prior to the event, we will be litter-picking and cleaning at the park on Tuesday 27th July (6-8 p.m.) and the event will feature a range of activities from different organisations on the Wednesday.
Dearne Churches Together will be hosting a range of sheep activities, including a sheep trail, the story of the Good Shepherd (told at 11.30 a.m., 12.30 p.m. and 1.30 p.m.) and sheep crafts. You can paint ceramic sheep flower pots… or make stacking sheep puppets… or decorate wooden sheep puppets.
We’ll also give you the opportunity to think about Psalm 23 at the labyrinth area or dig for dinosaur fossils by the dinosaur sculpture.
In addition, other organisations will be offering the chance to go bug-hunting, build a bug hotel, make a bug feeder, explore the woods through den-building, nature trails, making flower crowns and wands, take part in Sports Day activities or do science experiments, paint rocks or find out more about the Elmer the Elephant project taking place in Goldthorpe this summer.
All activities are free; there will be snacks and drinks provided, but don’t forget to bring your own picnic and come ready for a fun-filled day of activities!
