June Update

 Halfway through the year already — and June has flown by! This month has been really enjoyable, especially because I’ve had lots of opportunities to be creative. I have been working on sewing wheelchair pillows for my friend Murray. They were very much appreciated, and it made me feel good knowing that my skills could help others

For mosaics I created a pair of jandals for the wall, made to the scale of a real foot. It was a fun project and I enjoyed seeing it come together. In acting and role-playing, we have continued working on our Mary Poppins play, which has been lots of fun. I always enjoy getting into character and practising with the group.

On the computer, I have been practising sending emails and listening to some of my favourite songs. For sports, I played target games, which I really enjoyed.

Cooking has been another highlight this month. We made blueberry muffins for the ball, a tasty pasta sauce, and a delicious chickpea curry — all very yummy!

For my outings, I visited my friends at Wilrose. I’m always excited to catch up with friends from the other centres and spend time together.

I’m also enjoyed the ball this month. I danced and sang lots of songs with my friends. It was such a special experience, and I feel very grateful to be part of it all at Ahoranui. 

There has been so much to enjoy this month, and I’m excited to see what the next month brings!
