Growing Your Community

Today we went to the Grow Your Community gardening lunch club at Woodham Community Centre. Paul Relton the health trainer was there and we did some chair exercises and learnt about the sugar in our foods.


Planning a Holiday

Next year we are hoping to go on holiday so we spent this morning planning one and sticking to a budget. We picked a place, the type of holiday we were going on, how we would get there and what we would do while we were there. We had a budget of £4,000 which we had to stick to.

First Aid

This afternoon we did a quick First Aid course with Joe in the Foster room. We learned how to tell if someone is choking and what to do to help them. It was very interesting.

Finding Dory
