St John the Evangelist and All Saints Spring Park Churches
Just to give you an update on the Numberella club from last Sunday.
We had a great session, four of us played the game and grappled with maths. After so many years we had to really work hard to remember what we had just done!! Ha ha. The game is so good for seniors in so many ways, we laughed a lot and no one wanted to stop when Ros won the game with 500 ant coins!! We started with the 1st level game for 6 to 8 year olds!!
Our next club will be Sunday 5th of May in the Tamberlin room at 3.00pm.
