Annual School Holiday
Once a year the Rotary Club provide funding towards accommodation for our older children to go on holiday to Macaroni Woods near Fairford.
We like to take a group of children away to enjoy a few days in the Cotswolds during the Summer Term. We take the children in two groups for two nights each.
The accommodation is situated in 17 acres of Woodland. The centre offers lots of rare breed chickens, geese, a horse and pony, guinea pigs and two dogs. It is in easy reach of several other attractions and many other areas. A minimum of five staff members supervise the group at all times.
Aims of the Holiday
To provide a range of activities and experiences in order to:
- Stimulate communication and language skills
- Foster independence and self-help skills
- Enhance self confidence
- Encourage socialisation within the group
- Above all – to have fun!
Activities
Some of the activities the children experience are:
- Picnic and play at Hop Skip & Jump
- Exploring the woods.
- Daily feeding of the farm animals.
- Collecting eggs laid by the chickens
- A trip to Butts Farm with a tractor ride
