A SPECIAL fun day was held for children with disabilities and their families to end the Easter holidays.
Sparkle hosted the day at the Serennu Children’s Centre in Rogerstone on April 24 which had something for everyone.
Children and their families were treated to sporting events, games and special visitors including Olaf, Minnie Mouse and Newport County’s Spytty the Dog.
Newport Live provided tennis skills sessions and there were martial arts demonstrations from Wales Tang Soo Do. Greenmeadow Community Farm also brough Shetland ponies, rabbits and tortoises and the children were able to use the accessible play equipment and get involved in activities with the Sparkle play workers.

Stacie, whose family attends the session every year, said: “Last day of the Easter holidays spent with sunshine and fun at the Serennu family fun day.
"Lovely end to the Easter, even the big kids enjoyed too with the animals, tennis and martial arts.
"Thank you to you and the whole Sparkle team for organising, my lot love this every year.”
