 Join Lydia at 1.30pm on Monday 27 April on a windy, blustery day as she gets out her kite and goes on adventure with her friend the penguin and some of his friends. Set aside the geographical inconsistencies of the unlikely friendship of a penguin and polar bear during our interactive community storytelling session. 

Here at Play Plus we love a Now and Next board. 

It is a great resource for children with SEND, but also for children without additional needs who are just struggling at the moment with their parent or carer being their teacher! 

The Play Plus team have moved online since the temporary closure of the Big Red Bus Club to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. Each week we will post simple activities, you and your little ones can try at home based on the book of the week. But if you don't have the book, don't worry you can still try out the activities. The activities take little set up and few resources. 

Do keep in touch with us on our Facebook page for more updates. 

Play Plus is kindly funded by Children In Need

I don’t know if you have heard of this book, ‘We’re all wonders’ by R J Palacio. 

The weather might have turned a little bit chilly, (you have to admit it helps us feel a little more festive), but Play Plus has welcomed parents/carers and children in from the cold. 

Dig Dig Digging, is a great book. Explaining all about different vehicles and the job that they do in a lovely rhythmical way. There is the same phrase at the end of each page and it's great to get the children shouting it out if they can.
