And everbody knows Peppa loves jumping in messy puddles of paint and dough!
As the kids piled in for their fun day at Muirhouse Millennium Community Centre yesterday, many of them wanted a photo of themselves with Peppa – yes, including Donna! (writes James McGinty).
With dough making part of the fun you can be sure mums have a heavy load in their wash today and the face painting would mean lots of baths too!
I apologise for the quality of some of the pictures, but we have had many difficulties after our faithful camera went to the scrapyard in the sky many months ago. Still, the main thing is that he kids had a brilliant day and a healthy feeding thanks to John and Peter in the kitchen!

*That’s ‘goodbye’!
Yesterday we welcomed the Zumba for people with disabilities session, our Boys Club, our residential Craighall Project our Crafting Group and a special Birthday party to end the day as we waved goodbye to the students from the Czech Republic and their tutors (writes James McGinty).
The students lined up at 8.15 as usual (classes start at 9am) Students from Czech Republic arrive here every week through to December due to the additional funding allocated to students by their Government.
Czech students make Muirhouse Millennium Centre home
Today we welcome our second group of students from the Czech Republic Students to the Centre ((writes James McGinty). Last week’s group stayed all week and included ‘Sunday Learning’ in the large Hall. Both groups planned to visit the Capital of the North – Inverness – with a ‘Nessie Hunt’ trip to Loch Ness!
We would like to thank St Andrews & the Old Kirk for their help in catering to the educational needs of the students by providing ‘learning rooms’ due to the large number of Students, as our Centre continues to be ambassadors for both Edinburgh and Scotland.
Some months ago we applied to Forth Neighbourhood Partnership for funding to update our kitchen equipment (writes James McGinty).
We were given a generous allocation of their funds and have not wasted time renewing some of our older equipment. Our first purchase has been a buffalo (Double Grill with timed auto stops ) which will help us reduce waiting times for our cafe customers. Thanks to Forth Neighbourhood Partnership for their generosity.

Muirhouse lads on Ocean Youth Trust trip of a lifetime
Two of our young Centre volunteers, Paul Alexander & Chris Barnes (above), embarked on the adventure of a lifetime as they enrolled in a positive learning environment under sail on the Alba Explorer from 31 August to 4 September (writes James McGinty).
Both lads kept a log of their adventure with feedback from their skipper Steve. Reading their log was as difficult as writing it in the ocean swell! With goals to achieve daily and new skills to learn, the skipper’s remarks were favourable.
The values and skills learned fell into many categories:
Meeting new people – and the art of conversation.
Following Instructions – Speaking out in groups
Getting Up Early ( Bet you thought this was not possible!!)
Working in a team -Being on time
Working on daily goals – Keeping Calm.
Many of these qualities can be taken into the lads’ adulthood; so well done, Paul and Chris!
Here are some of the 244 pictures and videos taken by the lads and their crewmates. Click On To our Website to see more: www.muirhousecommunitycentre.co.uk
