Christmas lunch and secret Santa

I had a lovely shared lunch today with all my friends here at the Arohanui trust. There was so much food to chose from and after lunch we all got a secret Santa gift...... I got a flash blue drink bottle....

Visit to the S.P.C.A

I went for a walk to the S.P.C.A with my friends. I liked the friendly bird he was chatting away and the cat was very precious......... 

Big bird Collage

Big bird has never looked so good, almost finished him, he's very colourful.

iPads

I really enjoy looking at the Wilrose photos on the iPads and like to look at the photos the photography group take.

Music and singing

I had a great time singing along to Abba, Roy Orbison and the Beegees. I used the microphone and imagined I was part of a concert! 

Brain Games

We played the twenty question challenge game and we learnt a lot about dogs.

Marshalls Animal Farm

I had a great day at Marshalls Animal Farm. We enjoyed a nice walk to the top of the hill for our lunch. I liked feeding the animals and patting the rabbit and horses.  

Maori Culture.

Just chilling while my friend Christel plays the Harmonica.

Creative me!

I've been so busy being creative ...... I've made some Poi (and practiced swinging them), used bleach to add a design onto some denim jeans and I've made a beautiful beaded wind chime! 

Watching the drama production

The drama team, put on a production at the Historic village and I went to watch it. It was called sleeping beauty and the Pirates. There was even someone playing John key so this play had lots of different characters!  I thought it was really good and I enjoyed it. My favourite part of the play was the songs and dancing.

Drama people do a great job!

Jewellery and beading

I helped make some Angels and a butterfly brooch and some necklace pendants out of fimo clay. We mould it in to what we want then we cook it in the oven on low for 20 mins to set it. Aren't they pretty!

Visiting the marina

We went for a visit to the marina at Sulfur point. We visited some Maori carvings and then walked on a path to a beach. It was a bit windy but I really liked it cos it reminded me summer was close!

Maori culture.

After singing Maori songs and learning Maori words we coloured in signs to use in the centre.

Tie-dying

I had a great time tie-dying some clothes! It was messy but fun. We tried different techniques and used two colours - purple and orange!

Making cards

We made some cards this morning. I'm still working out who I am going to give mine too, but I had heaps of fun designing and making it.

Jewellery and beading

This the new necklace I made in jewellery and beading. It has my name on it and I love it.

Birthday

This week was my Birthday. I got a lovely yellow cupcake, some colouring pencils and a card. The cupcake was delicious.

Garden centre

For an outing we went to a garden centre and walked around and looked at all the different plants they have. My favourite were the Daphne flowers. I also really liked looking in the shop and walking with my friends.

Maori culture

In Maori culture we made headbands with Maori designs on it. I've been wearing mine all day.

Plane watching

We went on an outing to the airport to go plane watching. We were lucky and got to see two planes leave the airport. There were little planes near where we were standing too, but I liked the big planes the best.

Growing seedlings

These are our seedlings for the community garden. We planted them two weeks ago.

Computers

I am hard at work on the iPad for computers. I am busy researching things to do in Tauranga then I will relax with a puzzle game.

Art time

Here I am painting flowers for our mosaic picture. It is going to look really cool when it's finished! I chose the colour blue cos I like it.

Wilrose garden

Here I am checking out our herbs in the Wilrose garden. It's a bit chilly out there at the moment but we still have to make sure that everything is well looked after.

Hanging with animals

Here I am with the cutest Saint Bernard dog! He lives with a heap of ponies and donkeys that we like to go and visit. I love patting them all.
