If you missed our previous post, remember that Crafternoons are now only every second Friday so it will not be on today.

Still want to get creative? Grab a segment of our mural and make it colourful and vibrant! Hand it in at the desk when you are done and you will soon see it up on the wall in the children's area.

Here is August's tip from NHS Lothian's Speech and Language Therapy team.

"I like it when you listen, watch and respond to me.
I have lots to tell you. Pay attention to my facial expressions, sounds and wiggles to find out how I am feeling or what I need."

Did you catch the last week? Looking for something to do today after school? Come along to our Crafternoon at 2:30pm and plot your journey through space! Design a rocket or probe, draw or colour in a destination and put it all together for a moving space picture.

Remember that our craft sessions are changing time to 2:30pm, and due to staff constraints are now fortnightly. Our next session after this will be on 4th September.

We've had some excellent events through the summer holidays, particularly our music workshops and other activities on Friday afternoons.

We spoke to many of our regulars before the summer, but just a reminder that our Crafternoons are changing to 2:30pm, still for an hour. To make this more manageable for staff, they will be shifting to fortnightly, and our next session is not this Friday but the 21st August, then 4th September etc.

Come along and show us your creativity!
