Staff and residents can be seen here having a spooktacular time!!! Halloween themed games followed by the spooky disco.
Harvest festival
The residents and staff from both homes enjoyed their involvement in the harvest sensory festival. The staff and residents prepared vegetable soup using some vegetables that had been grown in the gardens at both homes, and also apple crumble from apples grown in the garden at Sophie House. The residents also helped to shape bread rolls. Whilst the soup, bread rolls and apple crumble were cooking the residents and staff enjoyed exploring different senses through touch, smell, sight and sounds. Just before lunch the residents and staff enjoyed some wheelchair dancing and sung some harvest songs. The residents and staff then enjoyed eating the soup, bread rolls and apple crumble and custard for lunch.
