www.westendermagazine.com | 53 Endmum’s West notebook by Michele Gordon thelanguagehub.co.uk Idon’t know about you but I am really looking forward to spring this year. After all the bad weather we have had in recent months I think we finally all deserve a bit of sunshine. I do like spring for many reasons: the days become longer and you can actually leave the house and return in daylight, the air smells somewhat fresher and it is lovely to see nature blossoming everywhere. It also makes people more cheerful in general and less stressed and grumpy. What is not to like? It is of course also the time when many of us celebrate Easter although you could be mislead to believe that Easter actually starts on the 27th of December as advertising campaigns and the retail sector in general try to get us into the mood earlier…successfully? I’m not sure. Don’t get me wrong, I do like a chocolate Easter egg or two, but when I am still digesting chocolate Santas I do need a break! This year, Easter marks the beginning of the spring school holidays which means children get an extra day with Good Friday on the 30th of March being a holiday. For many the school holidays are an opportunity to head off on a quick holiday either abroad or on a holiday closer to home. If you chose not to do either you can still find sufficient entertainment to keep the kids entertained. There are quite a few activities on over the holidays. I very much like the sound of the events over the first holiday week at Maryhill Burgh Halls as part of the Puppet Animation Festival (puppetanimationfestival.org). Between the 24th March and 14th April there will be various events in Scotland for children up to the age of 12 years, including puppet making workshops, or animated films in English and Gaelic. If you are more in search of outdoor activities you could check out the RSPB Scotland sessions as part of the Kelvingrove Art Gaellery and Museum timetable. These activities run on Saturdays and Sundays from 1-4pm and only ask for a donation of £1 toward the costs (whatsonglasgow.co.uk). Children learn about local nature and animals living in Kelvingrove Park. Should you be heading toward the Botanic Gardens for a stroll make sure to stop at the ‘Books at the Botanics’ book fair in the Hopkirk building It will run throughout the Easter weekend with lots of bargains to be had for any book lover. If your children are more into sport, then look up some of the sports clubs like Broomhill Sports Club (broomhillsportsclub.org.uk). Sports camps often use schools to distribute their holiday activity flyers, so look out for your child’s school bag at the end of March to see what’s on. Many museums like the Riverside Museum or the Tall Ship also put on holiday activities for children (thetallship.com). And if none of these above activities take your fancy or you have tried all of them before the holidays are over, you can always come to The Language Hub. This year, we will be running weekday activities from the 3rd to the 13th of April for children and adults alike. Not all of them involve language learning so make sure to check out our website for more details. This leaves me to wish you all ‘Frohe Ostern’ and many happy egg hunts. I hope we will all enjoy some lovely warm spring weather and a relaxing break.
