🎪Last week Campus Doncaster we had a day full of circus-themed fun 🎪

In the morning Grace from Active Fusion warmed us all up, then taught us some brilliant dance moves followed by some impressive circus skills 🤹‍♀️🤡

Once we had all had lunch we were joined by Lisa from Hidden Treasures jewellery & home accessories who had prepared us some circus themed crafts. We created clowns and circus tents before the children's imaginations took over and creativity mode was activated 👨🏽‍🎨

Check out the children's awesome makes in the gallery below 👇

We asked the children for suggestions for future activity camps and they suggested; 3D Printing, jewellery making, .crafting, gymnastics, sports and practical skills.

✍We would love to hear your suggestions, please add them in the comments

If you are a local learning destination and would like to team up to showcase your activity please get in touch ✉
