A ‘Mint’ Half Term<br />
to Remember<br />
Rain or shine there are plenty of ‘mint’<br />
activities for the whole family to participate<br />
in this half term at The Royal Mint<br />
Experience. Whether it is getting up close<br />
and handling creepy crawlies, looking<br />
the part this Halloween or becoming adventurers amongst the stars. The Royal Mint<br />
Experience is ready to welcome all families and friends to be a part of these fun filled<br />
days. The Creepy Crawly Roadshow kick starts the half term on the 30th <strong>October</strong>,<br />
allowing you to get up close with the animals, hold them and learn some fascinating and<br />
fun facts along the way. The Royal Mint Experience will transform into a spooky site on<br />
the 31st <strong>October</strong>, with opportunities for you to join in on the ghostly celebrations. You<br />
can transform yourself into terrifying characters with some face paint as well as a chance<br />
for you to bring out your creative side with some balloon modelling. The 3rd November<br />
will bring an end to the half term entertainment, by taking you on an out of this world<br />
experience. You will have the opportunity to become explorers in space amongst the<br />
planets and the stars. The Royal Mint Experience provides a great opportunity to go<br />
behind the scenes and discover stories from The Royal Mint’s 1,000 year history. Discover<br />
how coins were made and how they are made today through a series of walk-through<br />
exhibition zones that bring the organisation’s rich heritage to life.<br />
The events are free for anyone who buys a ticket for The Royal Mint Experience.<br />
Tickets can be purchased in advanced by visiting www.royalmint.com/experience or<br />
alternatively by telephoning 0333 241 2223.<br />
Howell’s School<br />
Principal of Howell’s School, Mrs Sally<br />
Davis, is packing up her toothbrush and her<br />
trademark statement jewellery to head to Belfast<br />
this <strong>October</strong>. As Principal of Howell’s, she is one of<br />
only two Welsh school heads who are members of<br />
the Headmasters’ and Headmistresses’ Conference<br />
(HMC), the professional association of heads of the world’s leading independent<br />
schools, and this year their Annual Autumn Conference is being held in Northern<br />
Ireland’s capital. Standards in HMC schools are exceptionally high, and in choosing Howell’s,<br />
parents can be assured that they are selecting the very best education for their child.<br />

<strong>October</strong> Half Term Rugby Camps<br />
For ages 6-14 yrs. Why not get your children active and taking part in indoor and outdoor<br />
activities by signing them up to a Welsh Rugby Camp? Every session is enjoyable and<br />
interactive with WRU qualified coaches ensuring participants practice and develop skills<br />
such as running, side stepping, kicking, catching, tackling and much more. Our intention is<br />
that every child goes away from each session with a smile on their face and new friends for<br />
the future. We run 2 day camps for boys and girls and a 1 day camp for girls only across the<br />
Dragons region and North Wales for ages 6-14 years. Skills development aside, children who<br />
sign up to a camp also get the chance to meet one of their heroes as a Welsh international<br />
player attends to meet the youngsters. We<br />
aim to enhance and engage a child’s physical,<br />
psychological and social characteristics whilst still<br />
having fun with their peers. Whether it’s their first<br />
sports camp on their own, or they are already on<br />
their way to becoming the next Leigh Halfpenny<br />
or Rachel Taylor, we guarantee your little one will<br />
come home tired but raring for the next day.<br />
2 Day mixed camp £70 per child inc VAT.<br />
1 Day girls camp £30 per child inc VAT.<br />
