Rita is making up goodie bags for the community centres. 

Emma James singing for us despite the chilly air outside. 

Residents were also donated a daffodil when they were leaving the concert area.

The residents trailed out some new exercise bands on Thursday. They are partly made from cotton so easier to grip and softer on the hands. The residents did brilliantly doing more formal exercises like bicep curls and experimented with their own movement. 

It was a week of exercise with residents trying out their jab, cross, hook and upper cut for the boxing session. The residents practiced their hand-eye coordination by hitting the pads with their boxing gloves and we had some great right hooks!

We used our fine motor skills today to pop the silicone bubbles. The residents took it in turns to use their fingers and thumbs to push the bubbles through to the other side. After a few turns, the residents began to see who could pop the most the fastest. We have quite a few competitive residents playing today. 

We had an American Day at Mary Chapman Court 50's style.  Starting the day off with what else but Grease which was a song-a-long special edition.  We were also treated to cheeseburgers, hot dogs, curly fries, and knickerbocker glories for lunch.  After lunch was a bit of cake decorating with special American rice paper toppers.  A lot of the staff were happy to dress up for the day too.

Our residents painted birds which we attached to twigs of handmade blossom to decorate the lounge. 

Ay Wyndham Hall we are very fortunate that the people we care for share their memories and stories with us, it's such a privilege and a special time. Recently we sat with Hilary and went through her beautiful album and reminisced about the good old days! We were in hysterics over a picture of her grandchild with ice cream all over her face!

There is no time to rest at Wyndham Hall . With Easter just around the corner our team of crafter’s thoughts turn to decorating the home for Easter.  The cutting can be fiddly but it’s an excellent way to improve dexterity.

So many of us have friends and/or family that live in Ireland and as such St Patrick's Day was never going to quietly pass us by. This is us raising a glass to wish love and friendship and, to everyone we know "May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow. And may trouble avoid you wherever you go." (Irish blessing)

Friday 12th March was Mauritian National Day and we wanted to celebrate in style. One of the ladies who we care for, Kathy (Kanteeamah) was born in Goodlands in Mauritius and the team dressed up as airline crew and in national dress and we accompanied her on a virtual flight to Mauritius. There was lots of traditional food, drinks, music and dancing of course. An amazing day.
