Last night was our Halloween Disco at Options Social Club. We had been planning it with Joe and making decorations for it for over a month. It was great to see the centre once we had finished decorating it, it looked really scary. We turned the conservatory into Frankenstein's laboratory and hung our ghosts and spiders from the ceiling in the foster room where the disco took place.

We had prizes for best fancy dress costume which Danielle Clothier won, and a prize for the best dancer which Stacey Millie won. Everyone had a brilliant night and really enjoyed it.

Gardening Lunch Club

Today we went to the first monthly Gardening Lunch Club at Woodham Community Centre where we met people from the community centre who are interested in using the garden at the Pioneering Care Centre. We walked there, had a chat and enjoyed our lunch, then got the bus back.

Gardening

Today some of us went out into the garden for the start of the Grow Your Community gardening project. Howard who runs the project told us what we would be doing over the next couple of months including decorating the garden beds, pruning the shrubs and re-planting the onions and broad beans into the beds. Today we were pruning and shaping the shrubs around the garden.
