Don’t miss Halloween half term fun at Oscars

Published Friday, 13th October 2017

PARENTS IN Hartlepool are reminded about an action-packed week of fearsome fun for children at Oscars during the October half term break.

The Hartlepool Council-run Oscar club is based at Rossmere Youth Centre on Rossmere Way and offers an exciting package of activities for children aged 3 to 16, running from Monday 23 October until Friday 27 October.

Under 8 activities at oscars
Each day parents are able drop off their children from 8.00am with breakfast provided for them on arrival. They then embark on an action-packed day of ghoulish games and spooky surprises prior to being collected by parents by 5.45pm.

The Halloween-themed week of fun kicks off with a toy morning and a Boos vs. Ghouls afternoon of games, quizzes and competitions.

Throughout the week youngsters will have the chance to carve pumpkins, craft Halloween decorations, embark on a spooky scavenger hunt, show off their scary sporting skills at spider football and zombie tig, and dance the day away at a Halloween party.

Sandra Robinson, the Council’s Out of School Coordinator, explains: “Children always have a fantastic time during our October half term week of fun.

“Our team works hard to develop exciting and engaging Halloween-themed activities, and our facilities here at Rossmere Youth Centre are excellent, enabling us to organise numerous sports, street dancing, arts and crafts and much more.

“No matter what, the emphasis is on fun at Oscars and parents can relax knowing that their children are enjoying themselves and are in safe hands.

“We encourage parents to get in touch as soon as possible to book their children a space for what is sure to be a frightfully fun week.”

The service, which has been running for over 20 years, was hailed as “outstanding” by Ofsted inspectors.

Oscars also operate an after-school service on weekdays which involves children being collected from school and transported to the centre where they take part in a wide range of educational and fun activities. Parents then have until 6pm to collect their children.

Anyone wishing to book, view facilities at Oscars or requiring further information should email sandra.robinson@hartlepool.gov.uk or call 07771 936968.
