Free activities for children

A BODMIN community project has announced a timetable of free group activities for children aged from 0 to 10.

The Ark said the sessions had been arranged in response to public demand.

Set up two years ago by local families to help people reach their potential, it runs a wide range of projects for adults, young people and children.

Director Kate Martin said: "The family room at The Ark on Fore Street is already open six days a week and parents have told us that they enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, as they can turn up whenever it suits them and enjoy a drink while they watch their children playing."

The Ark has now launched a Nursery Rhymes Disco on Thursdays from 10am to 11am and a pottery class on Fridays from 12.45pm. Both are aimed at the under-5s and will run every week until the end of term.

After-school activities will also be running daily at 3.45pm for children aged 5 to 10.

On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays the sessions will begin with a story, followed by a related creative activity such as painting a picture or making a model of a character from the book. On Tuesdays, the soft play area will be turned into a dancefloor for a mini-disco, featuring songs with actions.

On Thursdays, The Ark joins forces with Berryfields and District Community Centre (BDCC) to deliver an activity session at Harmer Close.

"The Berryfields sessions are different every week," said Mrs Martin.

"They're funded by BDCC, so parents can drop off their children with our qualified staff at 3.45pm and come back to collect them at 5.15pm. The children will get a healthy snack and drink, and the whole session is completely free of charge."

Further information about all these activities, including details of how to get involved as a volunteer, can be found online at www.thearkcornwall.co.uk
