Summer fun is just beginning with slides, skittles, arts and crafts fun for youngsters this week.

Children at St John School in Stock Road, Billericay, were entertained by a skittle expert to kickstart a week of fun activities.

The Billericay Out of School Scheme has been letting youngsters get to grips with a whole host of arts and crafts activities - but the hot weather meant some just wanted to play in the sun instead.

Youngsters on the scheme can look forward to a visit from the fire brigade as well as meeting Wat Tyler park rangers and the police before the end of the month.
