We celebrated World Book Day by dressing up as our favourite literary characters.

Everyone got together and did the conga down the corridors which was followed by a quiz and even more dancing.

Bowerfield House loves a good competition, we had a biscuit dunking competition to see which biscuit was the toughest. We all got involved, every one had a different theory.

This competition brought out everyone's competitive side, we laughed and it was lovely to see everyone get involved.

The biscuits we had were rich teas, hob nobs, digestives and ginger biscuits. We dunked each one for 10 seconds and rich tea was our winner! Then we all enjoyed eating the rest of the biscuits with a pot of tea.

At Hope Green women gathered together to chat, eat chocolate, walk in the spring sunshine, listen to music and read. The sunshine shone through the windows and there was a real air of hope and togetherness. In recognition of current events in our world the women of Hope Green tied yellow and blue ribbons on the display in the entrance of the home and visitors and staff were invited to join in too. This was a symbol of our togetherness with women in our world who are currently facing great hardship, especially the women and girls of Ukraine.

We decided to be creative and innovative choosing a theme, and we chose, Around the World in Chip Butties.

The staff and residents of Clarendon Court have gone wild for World Wildlife Day, dressing as their favourite wild animal and learning a little more about them. Some very interesting facts, all helped along with our wildlife cakes baked by our very own Maria.
