Here at Beechwood Care Centre, we have been working in collaboration with Quay Academy School and Little Bees Nursery as a community artwork project for the “Together we remember” event aligned with Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day. The residents have enjoyed looking at the beautiful artwork and choosing pieces to be displayed in their rooms. The home has been decorated with the lovely artwork and poems the children have created.
Today the children from Quay Academy have visited us here at Beechwood and have enjoyed looking through the East Riding Archives First World War archive boxes, looking at local soldier medals and death pennies, and looking at books detailing Bridlington soldiers that died in the First and Second World Wars. The children also had the chance to try on replica soldier uniforms.
We have all had the special experience of listening to resident and visitor memories of their time in service and memories of the Second World War. To finish off the reminiscence session we have all enjoyed a homemade poppy bun.
