We’ve had another enjoyable week in Activities with lots to do and see.

We celebrated Armistice Day and a good number joined the Remembrance Day Service.

In preparation the residents made some lovely poppy wreaths to decorate the lounge with.

We enjoyed some poppy decorated buns made by Michele on Coffee Morning and had a themed quiz for Remembrance Weekend.

Joan and Joy played the piano on Puzzle Afternoon, which people enjoyed.

The Ukelele Lady entertained us on Tuesday and 19 people turned up for Roy’s Music Club.

We have also had the monthly Poetry Club and the visit from Maggie-Mae the PAT Dog.

Joyce making Ghosts for the display.

Another very active and busy week for our residents with our usual active games and our physiotherapist doing her rounds. We have also had a visit from Helena who does a yoga class for our residents which they thoroughly enjoy.

Also, Zoo Lab come to visit us showcased a varied range of insects and exotic animals such as tree frogs, snails, hissing cockroaches, python, and millipedes. This raised many interesting questions from some of the residents (See pictures).

We do like our music in Activities; both live and recorded. Also music with a twist. In our last Music Morning we had a quiz on TV themes and on Monday Rosalind from St Marks entertained us with Musical Bingo. This week we had a good turnout at Poetry Club where we focussed on popular short pieces of poetry. In preparation for Halloween and the Children’s Visit, Craft Afternoon saw us making creepy crawly big black spiders. It nearly put some people off joining the activity but in the end they were persuaded and a good time was had by all. The children from a local childminding group visited again this month and everybody was entertained as usual. Afterwards we enjoyed a singalong and some people got up and danced!
