Our Forest Tots were searching for flying wildlife today, butterflies, bees, wasps and ladybirds.

After discovering lots in our community garden we headed for the woodlands to make our own butterflies from sticks and leaves. 🦋 and pretending to be caterpillars hiding inside the hammocks.

We also used our new children's litter pickers to tidy the park too.

Then we all enjoyed hot chocolate and toast around the campfire followed by some singing, dancing and a drum solo. Thank you to our volunteers Sylvia and Euan for all your support today.

Sorry for the delay in posting the photos as we have all been busy eating birthday cake 🎂

Thank you to all the incredible volunteers who support Park View junior parkrun, what a great weekly event keeping children active. 💙💙💙
Have a great morning everyone.

🧍‍♀️ Happy National Volunteers' Week! 🧍

👏This week we want to say a huge thank you to every single volunteer who has helped us put on Park View junior parkrun pretty much every week since our first event way back in February 2017.

🌞 Since then, our amazing volunteers have turned up come rain or shine (and pretty much any other weather conditions you could imagine), enabling 406 Sunday mornings to be filled with the joys of running, walking or even skipping 2km around Park View. 🌦️

🦺 Typically we have around 23 hi-viz heroes helping us, which totals up to almost 7️⃣8️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ hours of dedicated volunteering.

❤️ Some of these people you'll see on a Sunday morning, some you won't. Those you don't see, will have been working behind the scenes during the week preparing for that 9am whistle start. Our event couldn't happen without each and every one of you. From the bottom of your hearts, thank you - you are our unsung heros. 👫

Today our Forest Tots were very creative in the woodlands making art materials from natural resources.
They made charcoal sticks from Willow heated in the embers of the campfire and used it to make pencils, with Elder wood handles. They then used Birch bark as paper to draw on.
They also crushed charcoal with pestle and mortars and added water to make natural paint, which they used on our giant canvases.
We then sheltered under the canopy for campfire snacks and drinks. Thank you to our volunteer Sarah, for your support with today’s session.
