NAC PFI Week Three Group Session



NAC PFI
WEEK THREE      
In week three, we had another session at Nundah Activity Centre.  We took advantage of the school holidays and had our entire session in the big hall.  The team at the centre set the big screen up for us and I had the microphone.
Smart Goals from Fred -  Ballroom dancing on the screen
We enjoyed a warm up – walking in a circle, and then some squats, then Tai Chi. There are important principles of Tai chi, which are more important than the moves.  As well, Tai chi helps with balance.
We talked about smart goals and goal setting – Fred shared his “goal setting story
Then we moved into digital mode.  Mary Clare told us she was heading overseas and would keep in touch via the internet.
Meanwhile, we had another look at the blog.
We took the questionnaire which tried to pinpoint our computer skills

We drew a picture of the “Pie Graph “of the Australian Dietary guidelines.



We all made appointments with Jacky for reassessments and appointments with Ann for some intensive work at home. 

We acquainted ourselves with the “good bladder habits”
 Functional Independence
This is about Functional Independence.  This means we manage our optimal lives, in our own homes.  So in week four, we have a bit more practice at home, there is no scheduled- group gathering.



Week Five Reassessment
Practice our strength and balance at home and see if those assessment scores can be improved.  Jacky will be at the centre for the interim assessments on Friday 26th April.  I will be coming down from the range, as well.
Good luck everyone. See you Friday
