Celebrating a Braw Dundee Summer at The Roundhouse Community Hub!

Our Learning team's summer tour continued in Whitfield yesterday They shared short films from Discovery Film Festival, created characters and puppets, and, inspired by The Roundhouse's theme of a Braw Dundee Summer, families also mapped out their favourite Dundee places and created flags and bunting to represent them.

"The children were entertained very well and enjoyed the activities."

"We have really enjoyed being creative today and thinking about the film clips. It was a very fun and relaxing morning."

"Great selection of crafts available and lots of helpers on hand for some crafty advice."
