A goodbye poem
This is the day we say goodbye
But we want to say thank you guys
We have had the best time ever
We think you are all very clever
Hand puppets, clay models and wooden spoons
Animations, poems, songs and good tunes
Are all the things that we have done
We have had so much fun
Thank you all from the tribe!

Update on latest sessions
On Saturday 7 July we had our second full day Have a Go! session in Maryport. We started the day with a good game of Stand up if... and some call and response songs. A group went with our top film maker Tom and made some great animations. We had a brilliant group sing and then we went into smaller groups to sing, play and compose new songs.
Have a Go! in Maryport
On Saturday 23 June, we held our first full day Have a Go! session for foster parents and children in Maryport. We were very pleased with the amount of people that came along to take part and despite the floods, high wind and traffic chaos; most of them were with us all day. The project is aimed towards 7-11 yr olds but we welcomed young people out of that age range as well due to varying circumstances. 23 young people, 15 Foster carers, 2 social workers, a participation officer and 4 artists attended.
"Through the medium of singing, they have found a voice and a shared knowledge that they are not alone in the care system."
