May expressed her desire to learn the fundamental skills necessary for everyday life such as cleaning her room, making her own lunch, hanging out washing and vacuuming the whole house. May is learning step by step to assist her mum with other household tasks, and in turn increasing her independence.

Keep up the great work May!

Chris has been working hard on his numeracy and literacy, although at times finds the tasks a challenge.
He balances improving his reading and writing with spending time searching online for images of his favourite Transformer and Anime characters to colour. Once printed Chris carefully colours them in replicating their internet image.
Great focus on eye for detail Chris!

Diwali is an annual Indian tradition of celebrating liberation, knowledge, light, family, friends, and food. DRC has spent several weeks learning about Diwali celebrations including practising traditional Indian dance. We commemorated Diwali early in November with a morning of dancing, laughter and traditional food.
