We made hand paper flowers and hearts to decorate our visiting pod, it's bright and cheery and the residents love the finished result. 

We had some beautiful flowers gifted from a relatives family, we decided to arrange them into some small wooden crates and they have brightened our home beautifully during the cold winter months. 

We had a visit from a young boy and his mum who are local to Clarendon Court, he asked his mum if he could write to us and send some biscuits for them to give them a big smile on their faces. It is a lovely gesture and certainly brought lots of smiles. 

The residents enjoyed taking part in The Big Garden Birdwatch. We placed feeders on residents windows and we made fat balls to hang on the trees. They enjoyed it so much that we did it again later on in the week. We have definitely attracted more wildlife to the garden already. 

This month we have started a knitting club and it has gone down a treat! Residents at The Belvedere have really enjoyed getting involved, for some its been relighting an old hobby and some are learning from the beginning. It has brought smiles and laughter and encouraged them to get involved...they are also enjoying the coffee that comes with that!

The last week the residents joined to the celebration of The National Storytelling Week. We organised different activities, starting on Tuesday with arts and crafts when the residents enjoyed colouring the famous 'Once upon a time in a far, far away...' The residents created very nice illustrations, some of them asked if we can display them in their rooms as they were very proud of them. 

The Westbourne is celebrating with theme of 'Love' this February and began with hippy fancy dress, colourful decorations and a morning of our favourite songs from The Beatles. 'All You Need Is Love' was a definite favourite song to get everyone up and dancing! 

We here at Knights Court Nursing home are always ready & excited for a celebration of any kind, be it a birthday, wedding anniversary, or any other occasion Team Knights Court are always rearing to go! That’s why we loved celebrating several birthdays during the months of December and January. Happy birthday to all the ‘young’ ladies & gents celebrating their birthday!

A very popular activity here at Clarendon is a good quiz, 'who wants to be a millionaire' is favourite, and we have a good team with great knowledge, this week we worked our way up to the million pound question...and got it wrong, better luck next time. 

In our arts and craft activity we made some jewellery, great results and big smiles.
