Grow Your Own Organic Music / Drum For Your Life
Using drums and lots of other 'easy-access' musical instruments, play games together to discover how easy it is to plant the seeds and grow your own improvised music with your group. All instruments provided.
Sensory Storytelling
Laura uses all manner of props she has found, made or devised to bring stories to life in a sensory way that adds meaning and enjoyment for people who, for whatever reason, do not use spoken or written language. Also good for those with any kind of sensory impairment.
The Green Team
Form your own community of like-minded recyclers, with a range of activities based around preparing materials to be properly recycled or turned into something new like a piece of art. Everything from collecting and sorting different types of plastic to taking apart old consumer electronics.
Music and Memory
Talking about and singing songs you remember are a wonderful way to start conversations, reflections and reminiscence. Chose a new theme each week or just go where the mood takes you.
