The month of May

 I have been having fun in girls group. I made math bombs, helping to mix together all the ingredients, I made them green and red. 8 decided to add citrus oil and it smelt lovely. We had hit tea, the table was decorated with a table cloth and flowers. It was lovely to enjoy a hot cup of passionfruit and vanilla herbal tea while we ate buttered pikelets that we made and talked about what we have been getting up to lately. Another day we made fluffies with milk in Quirks cafe. I listed to the Witch in the cherry tree story and used AI to make up a funny story about us visiting a cat cafe. I had lots of fun. I had pampering days where I had my nails done and a wacky hair day, my hair was spiked and a I had yellow flowers in my hair. I looked like a cute bumble bee. 

I was very lucky to go the Holy trinity church to attend an Operatunity concert, it was a Hoedown showdown, it was very cool and I had so much fun. 

In sewing I decided to make a shoulder bag. I chose a pretty fabric with blue starfish and found a lining with seashells. I have finished pining my fabric ready to sew together. 

I had a wellbeing session all about positive affirmations. My friends all said things that they liked about me which made me feel really good. We wrote it on paper, which I read to myself in the mirror as I smiled and said, “I am awesome”.

I made the most delicious mini blueberry cheesecakes in cooking, I helped break up and mix the biscuits with butter to make the bases and sprinkled on berries. They were so cute and yummy. 

on an outing I went to the perfumery section of Farmers, we smelled beautiful perfumes and got to try our favourite. We were given free samples and were told we could come back to get our makeup done. I really like the sound of that. 

We had a special visitor Devon Briggs visit our centre, a Paralympic gold medalist, He showed us how medals, his cool racing bike and told us how story. I was very impressed. 

What an awesome month!

Today we had a visit from one of New Zealand’s most high-profile para-cycling athletes, Devon Briggs. We asked him so many questions, and it was so inspiring to hear about his sporting journey. Gv
