On Thursday 15th April the residents joined to the celebrations of World Art Day. We remembered the birth of one of the greatest artists in history. Leonardo Da Vinci, a multidisciplinary artist that created one of the most beautiful pieces of art that we can still admire today. To celebrate this day, the residents created beautiful paintings that have been displayed in the Allingham House Art Gallery. A space where we exhibit the latest pieces of art work from our residents, so everyone can enjoy and appreciate their artistic skills. 

The residents joined to the celebrations of National Tea Day enjoying a traditional afternoon tea. Everyone got involved. Kitchen staff baked fresh scones with jam and clotted cream, also they prepared delicious cucumber sandwiches, meanwhile Pam from admin team baked beautiful cupcakes that the residents really enjoyed. 

Pizza day here at Clarendon Court, what a great job we all did, preparing and then handing over to our chef to pop into the oven ready for our evening snack. 

When the sun is out some of our residents have enjoyed lunch al fresco. Others preferred to eat inside but ventured outside for a stroll after lunch instead. 

The residents and the children from the nursery next door were talking about the importance of recycling. For that reason the residents decided to use tins as pots where you can put seasonal flowers, showing the children an easy way to recycle. Apart from the tins, the residents also decorated plain ceramic pots with acrylic paint and sticks showing them their artistic skills. Finally, they planted begonias and succulent plants creating beautiful pots that have been displayed all around the garden. 

We are getting ready for St George's Day with music creating a happy vibe all round we made some placemats together for the day and we made some placemats together for the day and they made bunting to put all around the house. We are looking forward to a great day of celebration and hoping the sun will shine all day. 

We love celebrating birthdays but when it is a milestone birthday, we like to go that extra mile by celebrating in style!
