Raising Explorers After-School Club

Hot chocolate season = craft season! ☕✨ Our kids had so much fun making 3D paper cups for their hot chocolate, decorating and bedazzling them to make them extra glamorous 💎💖 Cozy vibes, creative minds and lots of sparkle — just how we like it!

A perfect mix of fun, teamwork, and nasty results! 😋👏 #raisingexplorers #afterschoolclub #childcare #children #bradford #schoolholidayclub

🍕 Our 9+ boys rolled up their sleeves and became mini chefs for the day — making *pizza from scratch!* 👨‍🍳 From kneading the dough to choosing their favourite toppings, they had a blast creating (and of course, tasting!) their delicious masterpieces.

We even had a special guest zoom in — none other than Sonic the Hedgehog! 🦔💨 He joined in for photos and brought even more excitement to the day! #raisingexplorers #afterschoolclub #childcare #children #bradford

📸 Say cheese! 😄 Our children had an amazing time striking their best poses through our Raising Explorers School Holiday Club frame! 🎨✨ From big smiles to funny faces, every picture captured pure joy and holiday fun. 💛

Each exhibit brought science to life through exciting experiments and playful discovery. 🎈 The fun didn’t stop there — they also tuned into the fascinating world of sound 🔊, making science a thrilling adventure from start to finish! 🧪✨ #raisingexplorers #afterschoolclub

🌟 What an unforgettable day our October Holiday Club explorers had at the Magna Science Adventure Centre! 💥 They journeyed through the four elements — feeling the heat of fire 🔥, the gusts of air 💨, the flow of water 💦, and the power of earth 🌋

Today our explorers discovered that spaghetti isn’t just for eating — it makes perfect spider legs! The room was full of giggles as pasta turned into creepy-crawly masterpieces.

🍄 It’s October Holiday Club time, and our little artists are getting creative! 🎨 Each child designed their very own mushroom house, complete with colourful roofs, mini gardens, and unique decorations — no two are the same! ✨ Creativity is in full bloom this week!

A day packed with wonder, wildlife, and unforgettable memories. 🌍🧒🚌 #HAF2025 @educationgovuk @bradfordmdc

Our annual trip of the week was a wild adventure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park! 🐾🦁 From towering giraffes to powerful tigers, playful polar bears to cheeky monkeys – our children were amazed at every turn!

From exploring space and sound to experimenting with physics and beyond, every moment was packed with curiosity, learning, and wide-eyed wonder. A day full of questions, answers, and inspiration! 🚀🔬 #HAF2025 @educationgovuk @bradfordmdc

Our kids had an exciting day out at the Science and Media Museum, diving into the world of science through hands-on fun and discovery! 🧪🌌

Our girls took over as photographers for the day — and they definitely knew how to work the camera! 📸✨ From creative angles to stunning and unique shots, they captured the day through their own lens and gave us a whole new perspective. Girl power behind the camera! 💖🎞️

Our children loved picking (and tasting!) their juicy treasures, with plenty left to take home and share with their families. A perfect day in nature, filled with fun, flavour, and memories! 📸🍓 #HAF2025 @educationgovuk @bradfordmdc

🍓 Throwback to last week’s sweet adventure — strawberry picking with our little explorers! From posing in flower fields and relaxing on hay bales to snapping pics in every scenic spot we could find, the day was full of smiles and sunshine. 🌸☀️

We organised a special Funday for all our children this Holiday Club — and it was packed with colour, creativity, and fun! 🎉🎨 One of the highlights was face painting, where our little explorers transformed into butterflies, flowers, superheroes, princesses, and so much more!

From magical designs to action-packed characters, the smiles were as bright as the paint! 🦋🦸‍♂️👑 #HAF2025 @educationgovuk @bradfordcouncil - #raisingexplorers #afterschoolclub #afterschool #outofschoolclub #childcare #summerholidaycamp #children #bradford

Our girls hit the lanes for a fun-filled bowling trip! 🎳💖 They kicked things off with group photos and playful poses, then jumped into an intense and exciting game full of strikes, spares, and plenty of cheering. A perfect mix of friendship, fun, and friendly competition! 📸🎉
