Family Treasure Hunt trail

Sunday 10th October

Come and join us for a Treasure Trail in Norwich

These have been well supported in the past and have been great fun too.

After you have solved all the clues and found the treasure, you could then join us for a picnic in Chaplefield Gardens or the Cathedral Grounds

Meeting Point: St.Andrews Hall

Car parking: St.Andrews

Each family will be given a booklet containing clues and directions with a mission answer grid to help break the code and save the day.

Approx 1.5 hours of clue finding and then if interested a picnic after.

Those that have taken part on these with us before have all enjoyed, with many looking forward to the next.

No prize for the winning team or the 1st to complete, just Bragging rights.

Remember to bring a Pen.

We have had a lot of interest in this course, and I have a list of names, but payment is needed to reserve your place.

Cost £10 for single child, further siblings £5 each

Andy Anderson First Aid at Work will be running the course and he has kindly agreed to donate the cost of the course to a very worthy cause…the Norwich Air Ambulance.

We tend to forget that we are just as important as our children, and if we were to have an accident or collapse, wouldn’t you want to know that your child could help you?

Cash in envelope and hand in to reception please.

Breakasaurus T-Rex is coming home

Latest update of our Breakasaurus T-Rex is that we will be picking him up this month.

We will have competition to name our T-Rex and further ones for designs.

Thank you all and William’s Way who donated so that we could support the schools & community dinosaur trail for next year.

 
Past GoGo Trails:
We were luckily enough to do the Dragon trail in 2015 which was great fun and brought together many of the sesma students.
The students draw designs for the Dragon & pasted their designs on to the dragon (see photos). https://www.facebook.com/media/set?vanity=sesmastudio
 
We also had Dragon trail picnics, competitions and other fun activities for the whole family.
 
We are looking at doing the same with our Breakasaurus T-rex.
