Weeding.

23rd July 2012

The four poly tunnels all have raised beds that are planted up with various types of vegetables, this of course means there are also lots of weeds.  These are pulled by hand on a regular basis.  Today's gardening session was all about weeds and weeding.

Today we connected to the internet, and had a look at search engines.  Most of the class had heard of Google but were not aware there were others available such as Bing or Ask Jeeves.  Some service users were interested in online shopping, exploring such sites as Ebay and Amazon (wow you get hold of anything!!!) was one expression I overheard.  Others wanted to use comparison websites, interested in reducing utility bills.  Ebay was a definite hit, but that might be another class in itself.

Today's workshop involved uploading photographs from the service users own cameras, we had a lot of fun doing this, as some of the photos were quite old and brought back memories.  We grouped the photos into different folders each individual classifying their own collections.

Some of the service users expressed an interest in acquiring some basic computer skills, so today we looked at different areas, such as desktop and internet connection, and briefly looked at some applications including word, excel and publisher.
