Today we spent the morning at the Botanical Gardens looking at the flowers, plants and trees. Many people recognised trees and plants from their home countries such as the Banana tree and Eucalyptus tree. We also enjoyed meeting the bear in the Bear pit! See more photos on our Facebook page here.

Today we went to visit the Leonardo Da Vinci Exhibition at the Millennium Galleries in the City Centre. Everyone had a good time looking at the drawings and admiring the light effect. There are more photos on our Facebook page here.

Today we visited Mausoleum of the Giants, an exhibition by local artist Phelgm, in Sheffield city centre. There are more photos on our Facebook page: 

Thank you to everyone who came down to Art as a Second Language at Weston Park Museum on Thursday. We all had a fascinating time at the Museum and enjoyed studying the Victoria and Albert Museum’s Doll Houses Collection which gave us insight in to British social history. We then set off to the North Pole and met Snowy the Polar Bear.

We finished our stools today. Take a look at our progress below and on our Facebook page here. If you’d like to get involved in a future workshop send us an email: info@learnforlifeenterprise.com

Today we went on a trip to Sharrow Forum to have a go at building stools. We all had a good time and enjoyed the first session with everyone successfully putting their stool together. Next week we are going to complete our stools and decorate them! Below are a few photos and there are more on our Facebook page here.
