Our April 'Earth' themed activities have taken us out of this world. We have spent time looking at and discussing the different planets in our solar system and played a game where we tried to place all the planets in the correct order in relation to the sun. It was safe to say that some of us got a little lost in space! It was great fun though, we all learnt something new and there was a lot of humour and laughter throughout. 

Coffee and cake is always popular with our residents, add in some music and we have the recipe for a great afternoon. 

On St George's Day we all sat in the garden. Charlotte and Colin decided to be patriotic to both their home countries. 

This afternoon we played prize bingo in the Plaza. This was an activity enjoyed by all. 

The ladies and the gents really enjoyed decorating the cakes today. The residents requested the cakes to be shared out between the units. Sherry, wine and hot beverages were served during the activity. 

Eileen was a big help, laminating pictures they had coloured to make placemats for St George's Day. We had a lovely day where everyone enjoyed taking part in a quiz and we had a fish and chip lunch from the local chip shop. 

Residents have really enjoyed making these pictures from egg boxes and we have them framed and hung in our lounge, there's lots of discussion going on as to what animals we do next for our picture gallery. 

We had so much fun today decorating our trees for the last activity in this months theme Earth Month. We spoke about different trees and had a fun day with plenty of giggles. Our tree pictures are on display in the home. 

Celebrations for St George's Day at The Belvedere. Our residents had fun colouring in the St George's shield which we then used for our bunting decorations. We had a lovely morning making homemade scones and these were enjoyed in the garden with tea, fresh strawberries and some juicy watermelon. 

We may not be part of the EU anymore but our residents still enjoyed European Day. This morning we looked at different countries in Europe and what they are famous for, residents talked about the places they visited in Europe. To finish off the day we enjoyed various types of food from France, Germany, Poland and many more.
