Hi all!

Today was our first full day back at Bethany after our relaxing and fun weekend in Penang. We started the day off with our usual walk with the students around the grass patch out the front, followed by aerobics led by Izzy, Meetal and Mr Roberts; which was followed by a celebration of one of the students birthdays with a cake.

Caitlin, Jorja, Meetal and Miss Prosser went to the Lighthouse where they made beautiful Thank You cards and got lost along the way (due to Mr T’s bad directions). Emma and Asher were in the physio room, Sarah was in the Level 4 room, Bree and Mr T next door in Level 3 and Emily and Izzy were with the joined class of Level 1 & 2 students.

Working on some maths skills with money (Miss Prosser is thrilled)

Getting our craft on – Making Thank You cards at the Lighthouse

I came, I see’d, I saw’d.

After classes finished we all headed over to the mural to get as much done as we could, as we are starting to rush to finish it off. Jorja had finished drawing the Darling children, Caitlin managed to finish half of the quote and everyone else painted the city scape on the other wall before we left for dinner.  At around 4 o’clock we started to get our Henna done by Phillamina.

To finish off the day we went to one of the Bethany Group Homes for dinner. The Group Homes accommodate the students who are more mature and independent. We played a riveting game of musical chairs and pass the ball behind our heads (in two teams). They served us a delicious spread for dinner which included fried noodles, rice and mysterious jelly (that tasted like jasmine rice apparently).

Before dinner fun and games 🙂

A big crowd at dinner tonight!

Currently we are sitting in headquarters playing our favourite game, Empire, after a busy day. We are upset that we only have one more full day left here at Bethany and praying that we all have a good nights sleep.

Love from,

Sarah & Izzy
