HOT Christmas Kids' club

Enjoying being creative

Who says 40+degrees is too hot! 16 children gathered at St Paul’s Winton each morning for a week despite the weather to enjoy the Christmas Kid’s club.

We decorated a banner, made cards, decorations, placemats and Christmas trees, drank iced water, listened to “King of Christmas”, watched a Christmas DVD each day, ate biscuits and drank cordial and drank more iced water. The programme only went from 9 am to 11 am each day because of the heat. Our only cooling was open windows, fans and iced water. The children had a great time and were very busy talking to one another. One little girl came up to me at the swimming pool and said - “I will come back again next year” - so God willing someone will be here to run holiday clubs for them again.
