Activities included a nature trail and to the delight of the girls, games involving cold water – just right for a very hot day.
Plenty of shade
Advice on keeping safe in very hot weather had been sent to parents/carers prior to the event and with shade from the trees in the park and plenty of water everyone had an enjoyable afternoon.
