Last Saturday’s Neuro Network activity, organised by Pritthijit, was a session making sock puppets. Using cardboard, felt, stick on eyes and of course, socks, puppets were constructed, following which some children decided to put on an improvised show. A very enjoyable session for all concerned.

For the third year running, Osbournes in Yarm have let StarmakerZ take over their beer garden and put on an afternoon of musical entertainment, showcasing the talent of our children and young people. This couldn’t happen without the hospitality of Jay and the team at Osbournes, who are unfailingly helpful in ensuring the afternoon is […]

Our new photo studio/rehearsal room/green screen room is now open and had its first use today, when StarmakerZ returned from the half term break. Joey was the first person to be green screened and wanted a war themed picture, so we obliged. On the music side we now have a drum kit, PA and instrument […]

Our first Saturday back after the half term and Prithijit organised a trip to Ninja Warrior at Teesside Park, which was a nightclub last time I set foot in the building. It is equally noisy nowadays, filled with children (and some adults) burning off as much energy as they can in the allotted hour. It […]

Our expansion into the next door building is progressing. All the major work has been done, bringing the building into compliance with the latest regulations. Today, with the help of a number of willing volunteers, we began making the place habitable; cleaning up the mess and setting up equipment ready for the grand opening which […]

As a special half term treat Pritthijit organised a trip to Coulby Newham Leisure Farm in Middlesbrough. We enjoyed seeing the variety of animals in the farm, everything from sheep and goats to wallabies and alpacas. The play areas were also very popular with our children and we managed to fit everything in with perfect […]

For the third year running StarmakerZ (the music tuition branch of Roseberry Community Consortium) has taken over the beer garden of Osbournes in Yarm to host a show, featuring the choir and many of our StarmakerZ musicians. Confidence was high and everyone played and sang to a high standard. Even a brief, mid-song power cut […]

This Saturday’s Neuro Network session was fun with hula hoops, followed by shooting a few balls through the basketball hoop. Some of the children preferred to have a try behind the camera and enjoyed taking pictures of each other but mainly of Pritthijit.

Well done to the children and volunteers from StarmakerZ and Neuro Network who took part in a bag pack at ASDA Portrack today. Between them all, they raised a fabulous £555.91 toward their trip to London to see Wicked in the West End. Special thanks must go to Tricia Wilkinson, Asda Community Champion and to […]
