Month of June

 Throughout the month of June, I have enjoyed participating in a variety of activities during my sessions.

In my sensory sessions, I explored many virtual train rides, from travelling through the African safari and seeing meerkats, lions, and elephants, to taking a train ride through a land of dinosaurs. I have also been using my TalkLink in literacy sessions, where I enjoy copying words from flashcards and placing them onto the Scrabble board.

In Girls Group, I love taking time to unwind by listening to nursery rhymes, enjoying story time, and being pampered with shoulder massages. For my outings, I have been getting some fresh air and exercise by going for walks at Falkner Reserve and the Kopurererua Valley Walkway. I also enjoyed visiting the Wilrose Centre to watch my friends perform waiata and attending story time at the Greerton Library.

During music sessions, we explored New Zealand artists such as Stan Walker, Six60, and Flight of the Conchords. We learnt about their journeys in the music industry, which I found very interesting. I also enjoyed a session where everyone had the opportunity to request a song, and I couldn’t help but smile and giggle throughout. I also had a great time having a disco dance party where we all dressed up and had disco lights. I listened to many disco classics! 

One of the highlights of the month was attending the Masquerade Ball. I wore a beautiful green dress with gold jewellery, took lovely photos with friends and staff, and enjoyed dancing and listening to the music played by DJ Mark.

June has been a wonderful month filled with fun experiences, laughter, and memorable moments, and I look forward to making many more memories in the months to come. - TR
