Very Young Friends of West Bank Park: Wintery Days

Who are the VYFWBP?

We are a friendly community group, run by parents, who meet every Thursday morning in West Bank Park, York. Whatever the weather, school hols included, we spend a couple of hours in the woods and meadows of the Park, doing nature games and crafts, building or making things with materials we find, telling stories and singing songs.

We are open to all - with a contribution of £1 a family (to cover basic equipment) - so if you want to join us, see you on Thursday at 10am at the statue of Queen Victoria, at the top of the Rose Walk. (Bring something simple to share at snack time.)

For more information contact Elly at: westbankparkkids@gmail.com

Wintery Days

The cold days are here and it seems to have done nothing but rain the last few weeks. That hasn't put off our Young Friends who have been out in the park every week and keeping dry under the story tree.

On the 5th of November we had our fire bowl out and loved watching popcorn pop in the pan while we all waved sparklers.

Last week we began the festive season by making slippers to leave out for St Nick. And guess what? He filled them with goodies while we sang songs!

Join us next week for a magical Christmas Tree hunt and snowflake pancakes.

If you are still looking for presents for your little explorer the Young Friends highly recommend Collins Gem nature books.

The Community Arts Project is finished!

We've drawn, we've etched in clay, we've hung leaf sculptures in nets, we've looked at the park through coloured polythene, we've written down our memories and drawn rude pictures....and a beautiful mosaic has now been made! It has been officially unveiled and will shortly be appearing on the wall of the office block in the Park. You will see much that you recognise and you may even have been one of the team of all ages who helped make the mosaic itself. Well done and thanks to our patient, creative, hardworking artists Mary Passeri and Colin Widdup!
