Activity
Give it a go!
Have a go at embroidery – draw a design onto hessian and sew it with wool or thread
Friendship bracelet/braid activity – chat to a stranger and make a simple bracelet/braid together – one person holding the threads while the other ties the knots, and during the activity they tell each other where they’re from and how they came up be in Horsforth.
