Planet Leisure Trip & Cobblers Hall
Today we went to Planet Leisure for a game of bowling. We got the bus from Burn Hill Garage to the town centre, then another bus from the town centre to Planet Leisure. We had 3 lanes in the bowling alley and Brian Heels, Danielle Clothier and Shaun New were the winners of each team. Everyone had a great time. After the bowling we got the bus back to Cobblers Hall where we all had our lunch.
Middlesbrough Trip
Yesterday we went to Middlesbrough on the train. We got the train from Newton Aycliffe direct to Middlesbrough. We had a look around the shops and went to a café for our lunch. It was World Poetry Day too and on the way there, the train driver was saying a short rhyme over the tannoy for the name of every station we stopped at.

Karaoke Night at Social Club
Tonight was Karaoke Night at Options Social Club. We had the projector and big screen set up in the Foster room where people could pick a song to sing in front of everyone. There was a lot of dancing going on too and everyone had a great night!
Gardening Course
Today some of us went to the launch of the new PCP gardening project, Growing Our Community, after the garden has recently been refurbished to make it more accessible for wheelchair users. The launch included a tour around the new garden, soup and a roll, and we planted some onions and broad beans. Shaun stood up and gave a speech about volunteering in the garden and how it has helped him by boosting his confidence and skills.

Respecting Each Other
Today we learnt about respecting each other and how to treat people. We talked about what we like people to do when they're talking to us and what we don't like. We like people to look at us when speaking, be nice, pleasant, polite and good-mannered. We don't like people to say hurtful things, shout or disrespect us. When people speak to us nicely we feel happy, positive, excited, and motivated. When people speak to us horribly we feel upset, sad, worthless, frightened, small and nervous.
