Exercise's at The Hawthorns
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!
Popping Silicone Bubbles
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.

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