We have enjoyed playing group games, cooking up a storm in the Hive restaurant, sharing turns on the Wii and created some spooky Halloween crafts! This week we started a group project that the children have been able to work on each morning and afternoon. We are working on a 750 piece puzzle of Animalia. So far we have the boarder of the puzzle completed and hopefully we will be able to finish it next week sometime!
