Junes blog

 Wow, what a busy month I have had. We had a masquerade ball. We all got dressed up and had a blue drink and a muffin that we helped to make in our cooking session. We practiced waltzing in our music and dance sessions. We even had a real DJ 


Massage and wellbeing is a time that I get to talk about my week and what went well and what didn't and getting pampered. I usually choose a foot spa and hand massage because it makes me feel relaxed.


I always enjoy my sports sessions. This month is the football world cup and my team  I'm supporting is Senegal. We practiced our ball skills catching, kicking, and throwing.


I love to play pool. We have been going to the marble bar. I think I'm really good at the pool.


My gardening session is always exciting. I've helped shift some rhubarb,  I enjoy being outside when the weather is nice, sweeping paths, weed gardens and even helped grow some seedlings for the merivale community garden.


I always enjoy literacy and numeracy because I like learning to count numbers and color with numbers. 


Life skills are so fun we talk about all sorts. This month we have learnt about emotions. Happy, Sad, and even Mad. We learnt  what to do and how to deal with our emotions and also learnt that it's ok to feel happy, sad or even mad.

May update

Cooking and more cooking. I just love food. We have made mini cheese cakes, blueberry muffins and quiche and I liked eating it all.


Connect 20 has been fun. I like catching up with my friends from the other centres and having lemonade. We have been allowed  to sit in the main area of the citizens club because they are renovating the club  and i can see the pool tables from there yipee


I just love acting and role play. It's always fun and we always have a good laugh. We have acted out different animals, our favorite musician and also movie stars.


We have traveled to different countries for our music sessions. My favorite countries to visit were the tropical countries because the clothes were bright and playful. 


I was lucky enough to be invited to golf 360 with my friends from Arohanui and it was fantastic. I loved it and I was very good at hitting the ball.


For role play we practiced the song STRUT YOUR STUFF and boy can we move. We also learnt the song SWEET CAROLINA. It was fun.
