Here's a mini challenge for you all

See if you can answer these questions about the photo:

1. What are the little creatures with black dots? (clue to their size - that's my little finger nail)

2. What is the round mark (not the hole) on the leaf, next to the black dots?

3. What is the leaf?

Here's another clue - if you can't work it out, I'll post more photos of them as they get bigger!

There are some new bins on the wall labelled for our rubbish.

We must make sure that the rubbish is clean and dry before putting it in the bin.

If you are not sure on which bin to put the rubbish in please ask a staff member :)

We have lots of new furniture in SPPOT and need to make sure that we look after it. This means only eating at the table and chairs and not on the new chairs and sofa.

We have lots of blankets and throws to protect them but need to remember to wash these once a week.
