This morning, I went along to watch the young pre-nursery children having fun at a session with 'Alfie and Friends' at the Vale and Downland Museum in Wantage. This project was supported by funds from Cllr. Jenny Hannaby and myself for £500 from our County Councillor Community Budgets. This enabled the group to buy the materials and crafts for the various activities. Today, Alfie the Bear was introducing the story of Florence Nightingale and her role as a nurse during the war, and her little pet owl, called Athena. Queen Victoria was also there in style to tell a story!
At the end of the session after the children had been on their tour of the museum, during the craft activity period, they made their own owls. These pretty cards (shown in photo above) were made by the little ones and they had so much fun with the glue and the materials. These will be given to their mums for Mothers' Day next weekend.
The poster in the photo above shows details of how you can get involved with this lovely activity in our local museum, which is run by volunteers for young children and their carers in the local area.
