We celebrated the birthday of one of our residents. The members of staff came into her room and sang together Happy Birthday to her with a cake that the kitchen staff baked specially for her. She read birthday cards and reminisced with us about her family and friends. Also the residents enjoyed walking around the garden.  

The residents enjoyed making Easter Eggs and flower arranging that were displayed all around the home to celebrate this special time of the year. 

We have been exploring some disposable cameras today. The residents have taken it in turns to turn the cog, aim the camera in the direction they choose and press the button to take the shot. They enjoyed looking for different things they wanted to take a picture of and talked to each other about ideas of how to hold the camera, what angle to use and how they were impressed with each other's photography skills. At the end of April we will be holding an Art Appreciation Week and will show off all the photographs the residents took today. 

Today the residents used their problem solving skills by completing word wheels. They searched for as many words as they could find in a 9  letter grid and wrote down or communicated their answers. Each resident who joined in was very proud of their findings and talked to each other later in the day about which words they had found. 

What a lovely surprise, we had a visit from the Easter bunny and a very kind donation of chocolate eggs for all our residents from a local pub of the Urmston area. We were delighted and extremely appreciative of their kind gesture.   

Do you like our colourful photobooth frame which we have made during our arts and crafts morning? We had fun taking selfies with one another which we shared with some of our relatives. 

Kicking off Easter weekend we here at Manorhey have enjoyed our homemade Hot Cross buns toasted with butter. 

We have received lovely Easter handmade cards from Hall Croft Infants and St Swithun’s Primary School. We would like to say a big thank you to everyone involved. Our residents thought they were lovely and said how kind of you all to take the time to make them.

We had a donation of Easter eggs, donuts, hot cross buns and handmade Easter cards from St Swithun's and Hall Croft Infant School.  We are very appreciative for the lovely gift and the time and effort made by Morrisons. 

In preparation for Easter, we spent an afternoon making Easter bonnets. Everyone chose what they wanted on their hats and created beautiful Easter bonnet, which they can wear on Easter Sunday. Everyone enjoyed making them and couldn't wait to wear them on Sunday.
