Space station landing at a Clitheroe church!


-..FOR the past fortnight, the spacestation v "Shebert Enterprise" has been based at the. - .top of St James's Street, Clitheroe. Eight team space stations have been cre-


* ated inside St James's Church for the chil- •-dren's seven-to-lls' holiday club, "Space- 1 quest."


- Games, arts and crafts, junk modelling,


‘‘ a scrap heap challenge, kids praise and cre- ' ative workshops have kept 100 youngsters ’ occupied. In the morning session, the children were


taken on an imaginary journey through space using a video screen, sound effects and drama, including puppet characters, Matty and Toby. The "Shebert Enterprise" and crew looked at the planet Earth and the children learned about important char­ acters from the Bible in a fun and interac­ tive way, including "beaming up" Moses to ask him questions. For the second week, there was a visit


from girl band Tsunami from NGM in Bristol. The band performed and led activ­


ities such as dance and vocals and hope to make a return visit. Staff thanked all who helped, including !


lunchtime helpers who gave the leaders an i hour’s break each day. For children who enjoyed Spacequest,


the church has a weekly seven-to-lls kids’ club, "Rockin'", which starts again after the summer break on September 10th from 5- | 30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Pictured are children and staff at the | first week of the holiday club, (s)
