YOUNGSTERS can find out about trees and use them as inspiration to create artwork during half term.

Two sessions are taking place at Walpole Park in Ealing on Wednesday May 29 - one for five to seven-year-olds from 10am to midday, and another for seven to 11-year-olds, from 2-4pm.

There will also be free booked-themed craft activities taking place in some of the borough’s libraries throughout next week.

Greenford Library will have a dinosaur-themed story lab session tomorrow (Saturday) from 11am-and an interactive storytelling session on Tuesday (28). On June 1, children aged four to 11 will be able to try bridge building at a weird science session.

Northolt Leisure Centre will be running crash courses in swimming and Elthorne Sports Centre, Greenford Sports Centre and Perivale Park Athletics Track will be helping children to stay active over the holidays with their multi-sport and recreation sessions. Prices start from as little as £2.50 per session with a junior leisure pass.

Teenagers can sign up to free courses in football, cricket, clothes design and 3D art through the Futureversity programme. Places can be booked by calling 0208 825 8226 or going to www.futureversity.org and searching under ‘Ealing’.

Councillor Patricia Walker, cabinet member for children and young people, said: “We have lots on offer for our youngest residents this half term. Many events are free, such as those in our libraries and in Walpole Park, and where there are charges, we have tried to keep them as low as possible. Whatever the weather, there’s something for everyone, young and old.”

All children must be accompanied by an adult and booking is essential for Walpole Park. Places can be reserved by either emailing hughesa@ealing.gov.uk or calling 020 8825 8974.
