Creative Morning! 🎨🐣
Armed with hot glue guns and plenty of PVA, we got stuck into decorating our Easter bonnets today!
🎨Crafting Promotes our creativity, lifts mood, and encourages conversation. The fiddly bits, like placing feathers and decorations, are great for fine motor skills and keeping our hands active too. 🌼👐

Wallaby Wonders 🦘✨

Today we have enjoyed getting up close and personal with the wallabies!!! We fed them straight from the palm of our hands! Such little characters and they had us all laughing. We then got to know a few guinea pigs too 🐹💛

This afternoon we welcomed local musician Dave Harris. He played the accordion, guitar, ukulele and harmonica 🎶, We certainly enjoyed singing along and reminiscing to familiar songs 💃🕺✨.
Music is a great way to support our wellbeing💛.

This morning was all about getting our bodies moving 🏃‍♀️✨
We used physical-movement techniques inspired by Bailey Greetham, Starting with colourful bean-bag catching then onto colour-coordinated hoop throwing 🌈💪

We rounded things off with a 10-minute chair-based exercise routine focusing on strengthening the legs and hips
Physical movement helps boost mood, improve balance and coordination, keep joints flexible, and support overall strength ⭐️

Obviously we then rewarded ourselves with a cuppa and slice of cake 🍰 🤣

Feeding the birds🐦✨

We made some nutritious treats using Granny Smith apples, peanut butter and seeds. A great hands-on activity We also topped up the window feeders, ready for our feathered visitors to enjoy 🌿
Spending time doing the little things like this brings a real sense of calm and purpose, and it’s always nice to sit back, watch the birds come and go, and enjoy a bit of fresh air 💛
