Don’t miss out on summer fun at Oscars

Published Friday, 4th August 2017

PARENTS IN Hartlepool are reminded about an action-packed third week of fun for children at Oscars during the summer school holiday 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 every weekday until Friday 1 September (excluding 28 August).

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 fun and thrills prior to being collected by parents by 5.45pm.

The third week of summer fun, which starts on Monday 7 August, kicks off with ring of fire obstacle course, jewellery making and a penalty shoot out.

Throughout the week youngsters will have the chance to take a wicket in Kwik Cricket, visit Hartlepool Power Station, learn all about Lego, make a bird feeder or insect house and much more.

Sandra Robinson, the Council’s Out of School Coordinator, explains: “We are now reaching the midway point of our summer programme. Children have had a fantastic time so far, and we still have a few spaces left for the coming weeks.

“Our facilities here at Rossmere Youth Centre are excellent, enabling us to organise numerous sports, street dancing, arts and crafts and much more.

“The team continues to develop exciting new activities to keep children entertained over summer, especially when the weather doesn’t turn out quite as expected.

“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.”

The service, which has been running for over 20 years, was recently 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.
