25.01.2022 Good afternoon from The Venny! For this weeks art activity we will be doing some tile painting. Check out the video to see what Play worker, Keith has created! ... Be sure to get you art pack from The Venny this week and join us online at 4pm on Friday!

24.01.2022 It’s finally Spring Time!!! This Friday we will be doing some ‘Covid-free’ Clay Cubby Construction! We are all a bit tired of hearing about the places we cannot go due to Covid 19... so this week we are going to create a mini world that is safe and fun and full of imagination! ... Play packs are available at The Venny now and will include some clay and other loose materials you can use to build your cubby. But when you go outside for a walk over the next few days, we suggest you pick up some sticks or stones or flowers or leaves that you might find to decorate the clay further. At a time when we are on screens all day, playing with natural materials and using our creative minds is more important than ever. So we hope to see you at 4pm on Friday for the online session with The Venny Team.
