One of the recent craft activities at Brunel was making sensory bags full of beads, shaving foam, glitter, cotton wool balls and food colouring. The residents really enjoyed getting messy with this one.

Remembrance day is a very important event for many of the residents at Abingdon Court. Therefore the activities team, Kirsty and Mona ensured the activities were relevant to the day.  Residents created their own poppies which they then wore on remembrance day.  On the day itself, the residents watched the day's services which were moving but also heart warming.

Among the residents are many veterans for whom remembrance day was very important and so the day was filled with services, poem readings, quizzes and sing along.

Unfortunately due to the current conditions, like many people, the residents were not able to go to a fire work display this year and so the activity team brought the fireworks display to them.

During Halloween week the activities coordinators provided the residents with various Halloween inspired activities, such as pumpkin decorating, and even a Halloween themed bingo, which the residents really enjoyed it.

There was a Halloween party and where the staff dressed in fancy dress and took party in the Halloween party games including using props for residents for pictures. The usual sweets and treats trolley was Halloween themed and became a "Trick or Treat" activity.

Everyone at Coplands enjoyed our Halloween celebrations with some amazing costumes and decorations on show throughout our home.

We enjoyed some Halloween themed games and lots of scarey snacks to finish off the afternoon activities -  a really spooktacular day!

We really got into the spirt of Halloween at Riverview, even Godzilla got an invite this year.

One of our most recent trips out was to the Kemble Aerodrome.  The airfield is being used to store retired aircraft including Boeing 747s and large passenger planes.  Its astounding to see so many huge aircraft all lined up together.

The staff at Brunel have done an amazing job in donating and purchasing essential items for a great charity called Supporting the homeless in the south west.

One of the charity's volunteers came to Brunel with accompanied by her children to collect the donations.

They were extremely grateful to all the staff here for their generosity.

Here at Clumber Court we have been making some butterflies. Some of the residents chose to use different mediums to paint them. They chose there style and created some beautiful paintings. It was a lovely relaxed atmosphere and every one had a wonderful time chatting to each other and singing to the 60s music.
