For Water Week we learned about the water cycle in nature. We also had fun with water balloons, experiment with boats if they would sink or float and creating sea creatures!

Here are a couple of masks made by our 5 and 6 year old group during culture week

Today the Worcester Gang Unit visited and played basketball and spoke with the members.

Dreamcatchers!

Finally a hot day to be able to cool off!

For Culture Week we had a few staff present on their heritage! Precious (Social Worker) talked about Ghana and Stephanie (HR Manager) presented on Lebanon.
