Get Set Community Action
Today students from Woodham Academy in partnership with Livin came to work with us as part of the Get Set Community Action project which is a programme which empowers young people to make exciting changes in their community. We split into groups and did a number of different exercise activities with the students including Zumba, Boxercise and Basketball skills.

Gardening & Word Skills
Today some of us went on the gardening course where we learned about what vegetables need planting when and when we should plant them and when they'll be ready to eat.
Grow Your Community, Introduction to technology
Today some of us went to the Grow Your Community club at Woodham Community Centre as part of the gardening course. The last Wednesday of each month they have a lunch club and a new activity for us to try. This week it was an introduction to technology. There was a question on the interactive white board 'what is your favourite colour?' and we could text in from our phones to the number on screen and our answer would appear on the board. We also got to use the laptops and had a look at some apps on our phones including the Arriva bus app.

Bird Table and Bird feeeder
Today we got our bird table delivered. We researched different garden birds on the computer. Then we made Bird feeders out of lard, Bird seeds and meal worms.
We then took our bird table outside the options room. We put food on it to watch the birds from the Options room window.
