What a wonderful St George's Day celebration we had at Hope Green. Waving hand held flags to lots of great music and singing created a very uplifting atmosphere. It was like a last night The Proms! To make it complete we decorated the social areas with red and white bunting, filled the air with bubbles and danced together. Our kitchen team served up fish and chip lunch in the dining room and even made their own sticky toffee pudding for everyone. A thoroughly enjoyable day all round. 

We had a lovely sunny day planting some flowers for the outside of the home. Our residents enjoyed the planting and the lovely cool drinks. 

What a great day we had here at Bowerfield Court! We enjoyed a puppet show where everyone got to see our very own handmade puppets. We followed this with a virtual themed concert where our bunting was up, our disco lights were on and our flags were waved. All this was finished off with an amazing buffet which went down a treat. 

April's activities theme here at Bowerfield Court is 'Earth' so recognising this year's Earth Day was important to us. We painted seashells and created a canvas of the earth along with discussing ways in which we all could care for our planet and how important it is for everyone to play their part with things like recycling. We also headed outside to pick up any litter that had collected in our flower beds and around our home whilst jointly planting bulbs and sowing seeds to benefit the soil, insects and animals. 

Everyone at Bowerfield Court had a good old knees up for St George's Day. We enjoyed donning our hats and glasses, waving our flags and dancing to the music at our themed concert. Afterwards we enjoyed a fabulous buffet. 

Today's entertainment was a new singer called Rachel, we had a really enjoyable day celebrating St George's Day. Residents really enjoyed the afternoon, and finished it off with a glass of wine. 

We bought some bubble blowing machines for our residents as part of our ongoing sensory programme. We use them in residents rooms, in lounge areas, outside, as well as parties. Christopher has his own machine for his room and one of his favourite things is to catch the bubbles. This is Christopher enjoying the sunshine catching bubbles. He giggles so much and that makes us so happy. 

For Earth Day the Norwich market came to The Hawthorns, starting with a virtual tour followed by touching and smelling of its local and organic produce. Residents then made suggestions as to what could be cooked with the ingredients and talked about meals they used to make. The most popular suggestion was a dessert with rhubarb and custard and with the help of our kitchen staff the residents tucked into their deserts the following day. 

Today was St. George's Day , the day we celebrate George slaying a dragon for England! And there's no better way to celebrate than with a party! We listened to music from Vera Lynn, Tommy Steele and The Beatles. Played games like the Cockney Rhyming Slam Game and St. George themed Bingo. And ended it all with some fish and chips. 

We held a games afternoon here at Belmont, wine, sherry and hot beverages were served. Residents said how much they enjoyed the variety of games to choose from.
