Some clients at the Centre enjoyed planning a cookery session this week. We discussed what we would like to make and the ingredients we needed for Potato & Leek soup accompanied with Egg & Onion Sandwiches. It tasted great even if we do say so ourselves.

Autumn
We are currently learning about Autumn, and part of our art work was to put leaves on a tree trunk. Some of the group did this by finger painting the leaves and others drew leaves on the trunk/branches. We also did chalk art drawings around leaves.
