That’s another school term almost over and time for StarmakerZ and some of our other projects to have a little holiday. Sticking to tradition, we have a party, with singing, dancing, games and chocolate – lots of chocolate. Very few people went home without enough sweet stuff in their bodies to ensure they won’t sleep […]

This week some of our StarmakerZ choir dressed as angels so they could be part of a Stockton Nativity organised by The Infant Hercules Choir. Other members of our choir went along to join in the Christmas singalong, which took place in Stockton’s Hilton Hotel. The event was a humorous retelling of the nativity tale, […]

This Saturday our Neuro Network project organised a craft session focussing on making Christmas baubles and trinkets. There were festive tree ornaments to colour, along with plaster of Paris moulding, card making and some messy fun with paint, glitter and glue. All this activity was fuelled by a large tin of Christmas sweets donated by […]

Something a bit different for the Neuro Network session this week, we did origami, the Japanese art of paper folding. Boats, hats and assorted birds seemed to be the most popular constructions.

With the visionary direction of Serenity and the help of a bunch of willing ‘actors’, our two buildings […]

This week’s Neuro Network activity was a bit of pre-Halloween preparation, making a spooky film to project during our Halloween party on the 30th October. An opportunity for our children to dress up and scream horrifically into the camera. It was great fun and enjoyed by all who took part, some with imaginative scenarios were […]

For our Neuro Network activity this Saturday we enjoyed some stop motion filming in our green screen studio. Tyler put on his teaching head and instructed all present in the basics of stop motion before we let anyone loose on set. Tutoring over – thank you Tyler, the children began the painstaking work of moving […]
