Summer Event


The REALISE group took part in Archway's Summer Event this year providing a creative arts activity for the clients who came to enjoy the bbq, table top sale, henna and spray tattoos. The theme for the artswork was to create a response to the title 'Best of Multicultural Britain' and teh group thought of various prompts such as food, music and culture to get people thinking.

Bolton Abbey

Overview...


Trips Galore

So it has only been nine days since my last post but MAN ALIVE have we packed things in here at REALISE H.Q.

We completed our 'Me But Different' photography project and there were some interesting results as you can see from my previous photo post!!! We became vets, searched for our family history and looked into the future in a series of exciting photographic prints.

Next we had a group trip to Tropical World, which was great for spotting Tropical Flowers, Parrots, Lizards and Meerkats but really, really hot! So hot in fact we had to visit the cafe after to complete our worksheets and have a cooling ice cream! Phew!!!

From this visit we produced some great pair and group work by sharing photographs with the group and manipulating them in a variety of ways. We worked on our sharing, presentation, cooperation, communication and team work skills and that's without considering the artistic side of things!

And now I am writing this post after a MARVELOUS day out at Bolton Abbey. We were joined by the Archway ESOL group for a picnic, games session and walk around the ruins of Bolton Abbey. We took pictures of the theme "A View Through..."

Watch this space for images....
