Barnado's Big Toddle 2009 (Events Archive)

Once again the sun shone on us all for this year’s Big Toddle held on Wednesday 24th June 2009. The half mile toddle kicked off at 10.15am as the children broke through the starting line in the Pre-School outdoor play area and onto the playing field to encounter obstacles and activities en route. These included scaling our new wooden climbing frame, walking on ‘monster feet’ stilts, leaping through hula hoops and aiming beanbags at targets. Of course, the adults had to have a go too!



Over £250 has been raised so far through for Barnardo’s and a further £80 donated towards the Pre-School’s new gardening area which will be created in the next few months to add to the children’s curricular activities. We are hoping to grow spring bulbs and maybe even a few vegetables to eat at snack time. What a heathly Pre-School we are!

Stoke Goldington Mums and Tots joined the Pre-School children on the day with over twenty under 5’s taking part in their pyjamas. The route took them around the playing field and along the village High Street before crossing the finish line in the local play area for a well earned picnic and ice cream. Everyone who took part received their Big Toddle medal and certificates with proud smiles of achievement.
