On Friday 18 September 2020 Áine supported by Danni hosted a Zoom art and crafts activity session on the programme theme ‘All about me’, so let’s see how everyone got on:
“This afternoon we had a very small group due to young people returning to education and training and enjoying the lovely weather.
“This quiet and relaxed call was an arts and crafts activity of making wooden spoon self portraits.
“We had a good laugh decorating the wooden spoons as each of us had different methods and artistic ideas for how to do it.
“We covered the handle of our spoon (the body of the person) with nice words that we use to describe ourselves. These included funny, kind, active and witty. Once our spoon self portraits were complete we played ‘All About Me’ board game and got to know each other a bit better.
“Danni described her family as nuts, JJ’s favourite drink is water and Malcolm loves going to the cinema.
“It was lovely to hear the young people talk about themselves and listen to each other.
“We each learned lots of new facts and enjoyed reflecting upon our likes and dislikes.
“We look forward to playing this game again with a bigger group and when we have more time.”
