Lots of interest and discussion about people who help us in the centre. Featuring Scots Corner’s very own fire fighter! 🚒🔥🧯#PeopleWhoHelpUs #TeamELC

P1TK had great fun experimenting with pattern and symmetry today when creating nature mandalas. It was so windy we had to gather everything inside before it all blew away!
