We also have a video which introduces how online courses at CARE will work, how to use Padlet and Facebook Group and a little ice breaking activity 😊 I’ll post the link for this before the watch party, it will take you to the video on YouTube.

We have a water colour kit for you all 😊 some have been posted already and received. If anyone hasn’t received them yet don’t worry, they’ll be on there way to you as they’ve all been posted.

In this weeks session, Tracy will go through an introduction into the course, what is included in your packs and how to get the most from them. We then begin to look at some basic techniques leading onto next week :-) 

Don't forgot there is a zoom meeting this morning around 10, feel free to drop in to say hello, I'll keep it open for a while after 10 encase anyone is slightly delayed. I'll pop the link up close to the time :-) 

Next week alongside Session 2 we will have a second zoom call with Tracy for any content specific questions you may have or anything you'd like to know about your packs / picking up extra materials etc. 

Thanks.
