Family and friends day.

Today we put what we had learnt into practise and treated our family and friends to hairdressing service and a hand massage. We think they enjoyed it! I know we did!

The great balloon chair challenge.

Two teams, 100's of balloons, scissors, sellotape and string.

The aim, to make a chair out of balloons and to be able to sit on it for 30 seconds. 

Lots of blowing up of balloons to do first...

Some very different styles forming...

Two very stylish chairs... But can you sit on them?

That will be a no then!

We even made some fashion accessories!

Then had great fun popping them all!

What a great time we all had. 

We learnt how to work as a team, solve problems and communicate with each other.

That was all in a morning. See what we did in the afternoon.
