Hey! News is really encouraging from the primary school dropin as well! :D I went along last Tuesday (24th April) to advertise the holiday bible club! When I got there I wasn't sure what to expect, but the leaders were very welcoming. What happens in the drop in, is the kids (around 45 - 90) come in from school and have the run of the (very abundant and impressive) halls, where they do various activities that they please. I wasn't talking to the kids until later on, so i used the opportunity to speak to some of them indiviually, but also speak to the leaders. They have many encouraging thoughts and suggestions and are willing to help in any way they can with the advertisment, including going into the nearby school in June to do a massive promo for us before the kids break up for hols!
Later on the kids all came together into the hall for a group game (very icky and lots of fun) and then I did a talk with them. I dressed up in summer clothes with lilo, suncream etc and asked what they liked about summer. Then we played a game of "beach vollyball" and i told them all about the club and the things we were going to do. I gave out flyers and the kids seemed really up for it asking questions and a few giving suggestions. Some girls said they liked to get involved in drama, which might be a good idea that may be integrated!
Everything I saw just got me so excited and the leaders and kids were so encouraging I was buzzing when I came out! If anyone gets a chance to go see the halls I think they should go up, because it really set me alight thinking about the possibilities!
That's all for now, but I'm sure I'll be speaking to you all again at a later date! :D
