So what have the residents and staff at Burton Closes Hall been upto this week?
Monday was move and groove morning, we have been singing dancing and reminiscing in this session. This week was Motown Monday 🎵followed by table dominos.
Tuesday is arts and crafts and we are preparing for Halloween 🎃 so making lots of spooky decorations. We had a little 4 legged and fury friend visit us today at Burton closes and he loved the cuddles and attention from the residents 🐶 In the afternoon it was out walking in Bakewell with one of the lovely residents. We came across some amazing views and the wildlife was fabulous, just check out the beautiful swans and ducks 🦆 on the river.
Wednesday we had our Bonding generations session with the lovely families, then we had a quick music and theme tune quiz with a little debate on football which was great fun ⚽️
In the afternoon it was our chocolate tasting session, the residents had to guess the chocolate and the names of the chocolate bars, they did great and enjoyed the chocolate treat as well .Then to finish the afternoon off we had a cuppa and chocolate crispy cake, winners all round!
Thursday morning we did some chalk drawing and a mixture of all crafts, from knitting, colouring painting and some lovely singing from the residents 🤩 for snack we had some bread to try as it was bread day , this went down really well with the residents and they had found a clear winner with the cheesy bread. In the afternoon we had a lovely church service celebrating the harvest of food. Thank you to our local church for delivering a fantastic service today.
One of our fabulous residents has been busy knitting hats and has made a hat for a fellow residents baby doll and has donated some hats to the local charity shops in Bakewell, which they were extremely grateful for. Amazing 🤩
Then came fun Friday!
Today has been a great 😊
We have had fun games all morning and with a little competition between residents vs staff it has been a fantastic morning.
We had bean bag target, tin can alley, roll the highest on the dice, slide the cup in the square, hit the balloon, balloon tennis, roll in the rope and to finish it off Flamingo hoops!
We had some great laughs and the residents loved it 😊 and some family members joined in as well which was amazing 🤩 The winners had to be the residents, they blew us away on the target and hit the balloon 🎈 5 points 1 clear winners of the day 🏆
A fabulous week full of fun and laughter and making wonderful memories.
