We were invited to attend the “launch” of the new Rainbow Factory theme – Space. With Tim Peake currently on the ISS, this seemed like a perfect time to do it, and of course, RF did it expertly well. Some would say that it was “Out of this world”, but I would never go down the route of a pun filled review…!!
Having said that, the staff are absolute stars (ok, I will stop now!) and as always, they make the day there oh so enjoyable. They are always willing to help the little ones and seem to know what they can and can’t do, whilst stretching them a little bit. They seem to be masters of all things creative, which is somewhat disheartening, seeing how easy they make it!
Anyway, I have done a number of reviews here (Valentines Day event) here (Christmas show) and here (“regular” visit) and so feel free to read my thoughts there. As a result, I thought that I would try my hand and be a little creative, getting inspired from RF…
So we arrived
for a tour about space,
I was so sure
that it would be really ace.
Jordan took us round.
A small group of 5.
The children were so happy,
enthusiastic and alive!
We learnt about the planets,
the moons and the stars.
We learnt that to space travel
we needed rockets, not cars!
After reading the book,
we finished the tour
We headed to the creative kitchen
after knocking on the door.
There we were given sticking
and colouring to do
With plenty of colours
including yellow, pink and blue.
Kirsty helped us make
a beautiful, colourful rocket.
It was far too big
to put in our pocket!
Bryony and Claire helped
to put on a show.
Even the excited little ones
had a very good go
Games and dressing up carried on
throughout the afternoon.
We didn’t want to go home
at all very soon.
As the clock approached 4
we knew we had to depart.
Happy for the emotions
we had in our heart.
For now Heidi is asleep,
dreaming all about her day.
She would be back tomorrow
if I let her have her way!
Until next time….!!
