At the Greerton Centre, we’ve been enjoying lots of fun new adventures together. 

One of our favourite trips was to Redwoods Blueberry Farm. 

The sun was shining, and the bushes were full of ripe, juicy blueberries.

We each had a bucket and picked as many berries as we could. 

   

Back at the Centre, we used the blueberries in our cooking group 

to bake some yummy muffins. 

Another fun day was when we went to Maxwells Beach. 

The weather was perfect for being by the water. 

We all helped to pump up the paddle board,

 taking turns to make sure it was ready.

 Then, one by one, we tried paddle boarding. 

Some of us were a bit nervous at

 first, but once we got the hang of

 it, it was amazing. 

Being out on the calm water felt

 peaceful and relaxing.

Our Xmas Party 2024

We chose to have a disco, a special lunch and a surprise sensory stand for our Christmas Break Up Party. 

The bonus surprise was, we all got a present! 

Here are some snippets of a few of us getting our presents.

We're always kept busy in and around the community, and at our Centre with so many opportunities and so much fun.

We are always busy, and out and about exploring our local community.

We love our local beaches and are frequently utilising their beauty.

Sometimes we have Sensory sessions at the beach and we all thoroughly enjoy the variety.

On occasions we venture out of town and explore the wider community. Here are some of us at Rotorua.

This year we’ve included more projects into our

community involvement.

 

Each week we walk to one of the local

Daycare Centres

and are involved with the

Te Puke Kai Resilience Programme.

  Here we nurture our vegetable garden boxes

to give away our seasonal produce,

and also help with the Daycare Centre’s too.

Daffodil Day in Te Puke

We love to help out our local community.

We went for a big drive up to a farm and picked

daffodils on a local farm for the Cancer Society and

bunched them up in groups of 10

We then went around town to sell them

to our lovely community

We are beyond proud to say we made nearly $300 for the cancer society. We all really enjoyed it and we will definitely do that again next year!

Every year we do an annual production. This year we did a musical show called “The Wild Wild West”. We work hard all year, making costumes and props. It increases our confidence and gives us all an opportunity to do a performance on our own and have the stage independently. Our parents and caregivers love it and support us immensely every year.

 

You can't live in the Bay and not utilise our beautiful beaches.

We visit them often as its our ‘happy place’ where we can experiment sensory experiences, collect treasures for our art projects and embrace the peace and tranquility.
