What a better way to enjoy Saturday evening with a Cheese and Wine Party! The residents had a great time singing and dancing their favourite songs while a selection of red and white wines were served with cheese, grapes and crackers.

For Chinese New Year our lovely residents enjoyed arts and crafts, creating Chinese lanterns and fans. Everyone was happy and we did the craft step by step so that everyone knew exactly how to make them.

We celebrated the Chinese New Year in style. We watched a beautiful Dragon Dance show from Hong Kong on our large screen, ate Chinese spring rolls with sweet chilli sauce and prawn crackers, we listened to relaxing Chinese Music and learnt a little about the History of the Chinese Rulers. We all had a fun and interesting afternoon, enjoyed by everyone.

We have made a beautiful dried flower wreath from flowers that have been sent in to Residents throughout the year.

We love the Craft Sessions and can't wait to getting potting seeds and bulbs for Spring.

Last month, one of the residents enjoyed a nostalgic seaside jigsaw puzzle. We talked about trips to the seaside when we were younger and our favourite seaside activities.

The residents had a delicious Chinese dish for lunch. Either Sweet and Sour Chicken with rice or Vegetable stir fry. They enjoyed the decorations and the fun fortune cookies. We also found out which animal each resident is is regards to the Chinese calendar. We also had a tiger colouring sheet as its Year of the Tiger.

Residents celebrated National Nutella Day when residents took part in Baking Club as they prepared a chocolate cheesecake which our residents enjoyed with an afternoon cup of tea.

Residents and Staff at Manorhey celebrated Chinese New Year with a traditional Chinese meal served by the home's catering staff. Chinese lanterns were made and decorated by residents.

As a multicultural environment, where people from all around the world, work together giving the best of themselves, to deliver the best of the care. We like to learn a bit more about the people that make that possible, joining to the celebrations of important festivals from other countries and cultures.

This time we joined a quarter of the world's population to celebrate Chinese New Year. We welcomed the year of the tiger with many different activities, where the residents enjoyed a Whole Chinese Immersion Experience.
