Please note these dates are provisional 

Longship intends to run its own highly successful play scheme again in 2008, last year both children, parents and staff had a very enjoyable time, and we will be doing it again this summer.

The Idea of the Play Scheme is to give children a hands on experience of History from Saxon, Viking, Medieval, Tudor and English Civil War periods. Plus, Art, Drama and Science, all mixed in with games and sports.
The emphasis is on fun after all it is the school holidays, but what they learn will certainly help them in school.
These periods are key topic areas for the national curriculum. The scheme will run for three weeks, with each week will have a different theme. Children can attend the play scheme from a day to all four weeks, and extra days can be added during the event, but be warned there are limited number of spaces each day, and we operate the bookings on a first come basis. How ever many days you and your child(ren) decide they want to attend we are sure they will enjoy it just as much.
