My month of May

Hello everyone! Can you believe it's May already? Grab a comfortable seat, relax, and enjoy this quick recap of my busy month. For outings, I had a wonderful time exploring all the water features down at the Lakes water park. Another day, we headed over to Tauranga Crossing to check out JB Hi-Fi before enjoying a lovely, sunny walk outside. We also went to the Merivale community Centre to check that out. I also dropped by Connect 20 quite frequently, having an absolute blast catching up with some fantastic friends over refreshing cold drinks. During computer sessions, I rocked out to my favourite tunes by Elvis, the Bee Gees, and Queen, and even used Gemini AI to create fun pictures of myself hanging out with them. For sports, we teamed up for cornhole and velcro ball. On another action-packed day, we tackled some awesome tabletop games that focused on hitting different targets. We also played ten pin one day and on another day I was super lucky and got to listen to Devon Briggs, a Para-Olympian track cyclist who brought in his medals and track bike. Over in Literacy and Numeracy, we tapped into our creative sides to co-write an exciting story called "Jack and Batman's Adventure." Looking ahead, our Masquerade Ball is this June! I’ve dusted off my dancing shoes and started learning how to ballroom dance, which has been an absolute highlight for me.
