Daily activity programme
We have had such a busy time at our activities over the last few weeks, we can barely keep up!
We have record numbers attending our art classes. Participants joined in, making keyrings, stained glass windows, Valentines Day cards, sensory collages, beach scenes and many more creations.
In Music & Movement we listened to all genres of music, but a highlight was definitely ‘the Beatles’ week where everyone had a huge amount of energy and the hall was alive with everyone singing along to ‘Yellow Submarine’, ‘Hey Jude’ and other epic hits.
In Drama, we have seen some fantastic performances, ranging from people pretending to be children and pirates, to us all going on adventures to pretend bowling alleys, swimming pools and gyms. We’ve been on holiday and to the beach and even acted out our reactions to nearly getting bitten by sharks!
On Fridays we dance the morning away and even though we sadly had to cancel one session due to the snow people certainly made up for it the next week with everyone ending up really sweaty and tired as no-one stood still!
We are really looking forward to what the next few weeks bring and can’t wait to see all our friends, old and new soon.
