ST MARY'S CHURCH, PAR

Par Little Lambs' Group meets in the Gott Hall every Tuesday between 10.00am and 12.00 noon. The group is for babies and pre-school children (each child must be accompanied by a responsible adult).

The Gott Hall provides a light, spacious, well equipped environment, in an atmosphere of fun and friendship. The children enjoy an extravaganza of playtime opportunities.

There is large play equipment to explore, including an adventure tunnel, trikes, push-along and very popular sit-in toys.

There are smaller investigative toys including jigsaw puzzles, shape matching puzzles, an assortment of interesting books for curious minds and numerous building bricks.

There is a collection of dressing up clothes that, along with a play kitchen, a farm, a garage, a play food set and more, inspire role-play situations.

Every week is a creative experience, which may be about painting, colouring, sticking, using Playdough or cooking (little Lambs have made their own Christmas cakes and Easter biscuits).

Each session features singing time and a percussion band in the internally accessed Church of the Good Shepherd, and, following closing prayers, everyone returns to the Gott Hall for refreshments, more play and story-time, offering a rich variety of children's literature.

Each year, the end of the summer term is celebrated with a teddy bears' picnic party.
