This past week at Helping Hands we have been getting creative – children have made flower gardens with Miss Jenny using recycled materials, challenged themselves to make a paper city and have started collecting nature items for the upcoming nature collage. We also channeled our inner scientist with some exciting science experiments. Games like Rob the Nest, Silent Ball and soccer were well received this week to develop teamwork, co-ordination and strategising.

Our younger children returning to school last week settled back into our routine quickly and it was great to see children excited to see their friends again.
