CHILDREN danced, juggled and bounced during the half-term thanks to activities put on by Colchester Council.
Leisure World centres in Colchester, Tiptree and Highwoods ran sessions in climbing, arts and crafts and face painting to keep youngsters amused in their week off.
The tennis centre also got involved with a special event for promising young racket stars.
As well as the holiday activities the pools were open for splashing fun and future Olympians took part in sessions in trampolining, basketball, archery, hockey, handball, football and athletics.
