Tattoo is the first major event of the year, celebrating diversity and creativity. For the second year running Tattoo is hosting a Halloween fancy dress Children's party! This is the biggest event in the calendar so make sure you get your tickets early as there is only space for 35 kids. The party is Halloween themed so dress up your little ones in costume! There'll be a prize for the most original fancy dress outfit!

| Details | To celebrate the Month of Museums & Galleries, let's all meet (with our tiny tots of course) on 31 May 2008, Saturday at 12:30 P.M.
The Museum has a variety of trails to choose from. Older children can choose to follow the 'Jurassic Trail' gathering clues and discovering which animals lurked in the shadows of dinosaurs. This fun filled trail includes code-breaking activities, a crossword, wordsearch & a free poster. Younger children can do the 'Bookasaurus' - where they have a funky fabric dinosaur book to follow a trail & can find out what dinosaurs ate, how sharp their teeth were, what dinosaur footprints are like and lots more.
Entry to the museum is free but trails have a REFUNDABLE charge of GBP 25. The money is refunded when you leave the museum.
Hope to see you all there!
Many Thanks,

Please feel free to carry pool toys if you have any, if the school allows us to use them. Also, it would be fun if you all could think of some fun pool games. Also, remember to carry a bag with your swim suits, a change of clothes and other necessary stuff that you think will need for yourself and for your kid. This event is open to all partners though it is organized by the Childrens' Committee.
The temperature of the water will be around 27-28 degrees Celsius! Also, kids in diapers need to be taken extra care of as if there is any "diaper disaster" in the pool they will have to shut the pool down till it is totally cleaned. |
