We got a new room at Cambridge House.
It is quiet.
I call it the Quiet and Peaceful Room.
After half term  we are going to paint and decorate it.

We want the room blue. Sometimes people can go in there to be quiet. If people are making a noise in the other room they can go in there to keep quiet.
The room is kinda good. I like that room. I like the room cos it is small. I like the view. I like seeing everything outside.  I like the buses and the cars going past. I done some good paintings today in the room.   

I like my paintings. I think they are good. I think they are awesome. I like the colour. I like everything that I done today. Especially my lovely paintings.
I like Eddy's laughing when he was in the other room. I don't know what he was laughing at- he was just doing silly things in the other room.
We had lunch in the café- Mary's café today. The sun has come out - lovely blue sky.
And that is it and I am saying no more! It's on the dot!
(My dear. And your dear very naughty cat. Your cat can be kinda naughty.)
And that is it.
Thank you.
Thank you for being here.
Charlene

It's good. It's a nice room. I like that room. You can do more art in that room. And today I done a summer poem in that room. A picture of a diary. Of a calender and wrote lots of names down like Lady Muck Worthington Catch Muck.

Meet Finn the 19Plus Dog!

Finn is going to visit us at 19Plus every Tuesday afternoon. She is a working dog.

Finn is a lovely gentle Pet Therapy dog and is brought in by her owner Jo. 

It is great to watch each group member as they overcome their initial fears and learn to trust Finn. 

A Visit from a Dog

DANIEL has drawn a picture of the dog. 
I like Finn, said Daniel.
I like you, Finn.
You can come in today, Finn.
Finn you can stroke me, you don't bite.

You don't eat dog food, it will make you ill.
And that's it.

Cycling Again

We have been going to the Herne Hill Velodrome for a few months now and have seen great improvements all round in co-ordination, concentration and self-confidence.

Andy has always been very nervous of all the cycles but gradually he is overcoming his fears and today he pushed a tricycle about and then eventually sat on it for a few seconds to huge applause from all the Velodrome workers. Andy was really pleased with himself.

We had a picnic in the park and then made some artwork about cycling at the Velodrome.

Crystal Palace Dinosaur Park

We went to see the dinosaurs in Crystal Palace park today.

Today we bought our dinosaur book with us. We can't go without it.

The dinosaurs were enormous , they are not real.

We went round the park on the other side. We saw a horse and a special kind of deer there. These are not real at all.

And then we went round a track round the area and we found a café there.
I had a really lovely day.

Before we went to the train station we went to a charity shop to look around. We saw some clothes what Dot Cotton would wear. And there was an old green jacket that Sue Barker wore when she was commentating for Wimbledon and I saw some Victorian earrings near the park.
And we got a magnetic dart board. Blue got it with some poker cards.

We saw some prehistoric dinosaurs when we got to the park. Nice dinosaurs. These dinosaurs weren't moving - one had his jaw open. One was like a crocodile.

 We walked over a bridge and saw a crocodile-dina.

We saw some pigs-  dinopigs.  Then we saw a dinomouse.

 

We saw some deers - Dinoreindeer that help  Santa Claus in Christmas time in Australia.








                                                                           Then we went to a cafe afterwards to have some
food to eat. We sat down in some chairs outside. It was a nice day - it was sunny. And we enjoyed it didn't we? We saw someone from Eastenders  down there . That girl had a baby didn't she? She played a teenage girl.
