🎃👻 What a SPOOKTACULAR day at York Maze's Hallowtween! 👻🎃

Yesterday, with a full minibus of excited young people, we headed off to York ready to brave the scare tents and get chased by the amazing Hallowtween crew! 😱🧟‍♂️

There were screams, plenty of laughter, a few tears and lots of unforgettable moments! 😂😱❤️

🌧️ The weather certainly wasn't on our side this year, but we just about managed to dodge the worst of the storm and didn't let a bit of rain dampen our spirits!

A fantastic day out, full of thrills, scares and brilliant memories made together! 🧡

A huge thank you to the amazing crew at York Maze for keeping us on our toes (and running for our lives! 🏃‍♀️💨).

Same again next year? If we're brave enough! 🎃👻

🌿🔥 Our last Forest School & Allotment session before the winter break! 🔥🌿
We made the most of our final session before closing for winter by heading into the woods for some outdoor cooking, warmth and fun! 🍂🌳
The fire pit was the heart of the session as we made delicious bread swirls to enjoy alongside the vegetable soup we heated 🥣🍞 — and, of course, no woodland fire would be complete without toasting marshmallows! 😋🔥
Then before we all headed off home we spent some time on the allotment covering our beds and getting everything tucked up and ready for winter, so it will be all set for us when we return in the New Year. 🌱🧤

Our Youth Voice & Outreach Worker has been back out in the community, visiting St. Bede's Primary, Sacriston as part of SYP’s new school outreach project! 🗣️

The children tackled four big questions:

🎯 What do you enjoy doing outside of school?
❤️ What do you LOVE about where you live?
🔄 What would you CHANGE?
⭐ What do you WANT to see locally?

We had lots of brilliant answers, honest opinions and fantastic ideas about what young people want for Sacriston — from more parks, swings and public toilets to better shops, swimming pools and more activities! 🌳🏊‍♀️

A special shout-out to Stacked and Smashed Sacriston — clearly a village favourite among the children and young people of Sacriston! 😍

A huge thank you to everyone at St. Bede's Primary, Sacriston for getting involved. Every idea helps us build a better picture of what young people want and what matters most to them.
