It was half-term for many of the kids in the UK and a great opportunity to get them off their gadgets for a one-hour productive session.

  Hey! We're back again! Everything that has a beginning surely has an end! We had a beautiful autumn term with clubs running in a couple of schools. We had a fine line up of exciting businesses this term ranging from SY Ice Donuts, Charlie's Lemonade, Simi's Art and Crafts, Meerab's Face painting, BK Candy and Luke's Cakes and Shakes amongst others.
