Fun times in the month of June

 What a month! June was absolutely packed. I kept up with my usual routine, weekly supermarket & admin red bag runs, hitting the Greerton shops, soaking up the sun at Tye Park, and burning off some energy at Bay Active. I even made my own poi at the Greerton library workshop.

We also cruised down to Rotary Park to snap some landscape photos and plan our next six-week photo theme, then grabbed some cool frames from Crackerjack at Fraser Cove to show them off. Another massive highlight was heading to Event Cinemas to watch the Michael Jackson movie,I loved it.

Food-wise, I had a choice hot lunch at the Citz Club with the Connect 20 social group. But the best feed had to be when my dad hooked us up with 37 pieces of fresh fish from his fishing trip! We got it all battered up, ordered some hot chips, and had the best lunch.

I like to lend a hand, so I did some volunteer work at the Greerton Library, helped collect donated chairs for our centre, and pitched in at the SPCA Op Shop. When we weren't out and about, we kept busy at the centre weeding the front garden, feeding the worm farm, removing Kōwhai seeds, and getting creative in the art room.

The absolute best part of the whole month, though? I totally rocked the stage at our Wilrose iSing, iDance, Kapahaka performance. I felt like a total superstar! It was also nice to just chill out in the warm sensory room and kick back with some movies like Ordinary Angels and Jurassic Park 3.

Bring on next month for more good times. Hannah aka Wolf girl

Fun times in the month of May

Hey hey, Wolf Girl here! I’ve had a cool month, busy as, but so much fun.

At the centre, I’ve done mindfulness colouring, reading, and practicing my moves for the iSing & iDance show.

It’s been a cold month so chilling in the sensory room watching movies like The Greatest Showman, playing

heaps of games has been really nice.

I have headed to Greerton Hall for Bay Active, did grocery & op shopping, Acts of service at Greerton Library

and the 15th Ave op shop.  We made the most of the sunshine at Fraser Cove and Morland Fox Park.

I also popped into Fraser Manor rest home to play games with the residents. We also teamed up with Coast Care

to plant native spinifex in the sand dunes at the Mount beach. I even went for a peaceful bush walk at

I'Anson Reserve, Te Puna using binoculars to spot local birds, bugs & fungi.

To wrap it all up, we got stuck into some projects. I picked out some top-notch photos to print off, learnt how

to grow mushrooms, bagged up kowhai seeds to raise funds for our centre & I also rolled up my sleeves to give

the centre van a good scrub.

I enjoyed a sausage sizzle at Yatton Park, watched the gee-gees at the Tauranga Racecourse, & grabbed a lovely

lunch at the Citz Club with the Connect 20 crew.

It’s been such a choice month, and I can't wait for the next one!

kowhai Seeds

My friends and I counted out 50 Kowhai seeds to put in a bag and label, all ready to be sold.

Volunteering

I am an awesome help volunteering at the SPCA Op shop. This week i restacked the books nicely onto the book shelves & sorted the childrens clothing back into their correct boxes.

 

Johnson reserve bush & waterfall walk

 Angus from the Tauranga City council took us through a bush walk at the end of Johnson reserve. We have never walked that track before & ended up at a beautiful waterfall & learning about different native trees. 

My Personal book

 I enjoy adding things that I like to my personal book. This week I happily coloured in an Alpaca with bright colours, cut it out & glued it onto purple paper to put into my personal book.

Eco sourcing - Kowhai seeds

 I helped to eco souce Kowhai seeds from 2 massive trees in Bethlehem. I found heaps of yellow loose seeds on the ground that I picked up and then also got the brown seed pods off of the tree. I'm looking forward to growing my own kowhai tree!
