Bily's Beats!!!!

Billy has shown a real interest in musical instruments. He can play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on the piano, which he learnt last year and still remembers.
He experiments with the different sounds the instruments make and can keep a fantastic beat. He is very creative.




Billy can also sing and play at the same time. A very clever boy!!!

Renee is our Master Chef.

Renee, I have seen your cooking in action with Treena and  I could see today you were 
interested looking at new recipes.





With so many books to choose from we selected several. Together we sat and flicked through finding images that sparked your interest.

I think cooking would be a great activity for you to continue doing Renee, maybe you could trial recipes for the rest of the M & M club. OH and I think we found some great ideas for making yummy treats at Christmas time too.
I look forward to seeing hearing and maybe tasting some yummy creations from your master chef kitchen Renee.
