With children expecting so much from birthday parties, it is really hard to fulfill such expectations, because they go to so many. I really wanted to find something that was a bit different to create a really special day for my daughter. She had already been on so many cinema trips, excursions out for food and had been roller skating more times than a semi professional. It was whilst I was talking to a teacher friend about my predicament that she said why didn’t I look into finding a school workshop provider, because then it would be something different, and also there would be some educational value. It didn’t mean that it would not have to be fun! So I had a quick surf on the Internet and came across a website that featured many providers of workshops for schools. They ranged from circus skills workshops to team building activities all the way through to art and animal workshops. I thought that we would go for a circus skills session. And what a great afternoon it was. The girls tried so many different skills from juggling, tight rope walking stilt walking to the delicate art of plate spinning. It was great and the people who provided the entertainment were enthusiastic, patient not to mention very funny. They really were great clowns. I cant wait to see what we will find next year but one things for sure, we will definitely look for school workshop providers.
