Hertfordshire Summer 19

Primary Times Hertfordshire
Outstanding Performing
Arts Holiday Workshops
Children and teenagers can make
friends, have fun and develop new
skills this summer at a Stagecoach
Holiday Workshop. The workshops
are designed for 6-18 year olds, with
some areas also offering them for
4-6 year olds. No previous dancing,
singing or acting experience is
needed and there are no auditions,
all that’s needed is the willingness
to have a go! Stagecoach has years
of experience in delivering high
quality, fun performing arts classes
to children and teenagers. The
professional teachers work with
each student to improve their selfconfidence,
social awareness and
fitness. A highlight of the workshop
is the performance at the end of
the week when students showcase
their new-found singing, acting and
dancing skills to family and friends.
Stagecoach Schools running Holiday
Workshops include: Harpenden,
Hertford & Ware, Potters Bar &
Welwyn-Hatfield - please contact
them to find out more and book. For
term-time performing arts classes at
your nearest Stagecoach school, see

Team Work is the Dream Work
Cinnamon Square is a multiaward
winning bakery based in
Rickmansworth, Herts. In addition
to baking parties and workshops,
they also host classes for Adults
and Children to attend together.
The next class, which takes place
on 31st August 2019, is based
on making bread and sweet
buns. Working as a pair, you will
each make a loaf of bread which
involves kneading the dough and
shaping the bread. From a sweet
fermented dough, you will then
make iced fingers and Chelsea
buns. The class is suitable for
children aged between 7 to 15
years. The accompanying adult
can be a parent, grandparent,
guardian, sibling or any other
special person in a child’s life.
