Bonfire Night Baking ⭐️🍫

Last week, our lovely ladies and WISH Activity Team made some delicious sweet treats to celebrate Bonfire Night with 🥰

WISH Activity Team Leas Brenda said, “We made chocolate apples on sticks and chocolate sparklers! There was lots of chocolate, of course, here at Ormskirk… and it never went to plan again as the chocolate didn’t stick to the apples, but the sparklers were great - very yummy! Our two Jennys decided we might as well just eat the chocolate so we all got our sparklers and had a field day dipping in the chocolate. There was laughs galore and obviously lots of reminiscing about Bonfire Night, so much fun was had around that table. Although there was nothing to show at the end as we ate all the chocolate… but isn’t that what chocolate is for!?” 🥰

🎃 Halloween Party 🎃

We had a great afternoon today celebrating Halloween as WISH Activity Team Lead Brenda is away tomorrow and didn’t want anyone to miss out on the spooky fun! 👻

Brenda said, “We had games galore; spider kerplunk, poke the cup with lovely sweet treat inside, hit the balloons with the beanbags, word searches… there was lots of fun! Of course, us being Ormskirk, the music went on and we danced to the monster mash, thriller and we done the time warp too! We had our own duck apple but too cold to duck, so we cheated and used a ladle. We also had sour dipping sweet game some of the faces tasting then was so funny!”

Big thank you to all the staff involved and to Chef Adele for the spooky cupcakes! 🥰

Autumnal Activities 🎃🎨🍁👻

Another fun filled week here at Stocks Hall Ormskirk! Our new WISH Activity Team member, Lynne is doing amazing with our Team Lead Brenda and they have had so much fun last week with our ladies and gents 🥰

From getting ready for Halloween by doing lots of crafts for their display up in the foyer with all the works of art our residents have produced - how creative they have been! To lots of fun games from bean bag tossing, to juggling, and Lynne’s great game in rooms with the acorns and egg boxes getting our residents working out puzzles 🧩

Brenda would like to give a big shout out and thanks to Lynne, what a fantastic impression and effort you have made so far to our home and residents ❤️

A Busy Week at Stocks Hall Ormskirk ❤️

What didn’t we get up to this week! First up we had the lovely Maggie who was with us on work experience from a local college and we painted some autumnal foliage together - our ladies and gents just adored her 🥰

We also did some photo album surgery with WISH Activity Team Lead Brenda, Jean and Edna, who sat organising and fixing Jean’s gorgeous array of pictures back together… which then turned into Jean and Edna reminiscing over wonderful memories with her pictures 📸

Finally we had fun making rice crispie cakes together with Joan, Sheila, Maureen, and Lillian with new WISH Activity Team member Lynne. It was a fun packed day with of course, lots of chocolate 🍫

Star Bakers Successful (No) Bake! ⭐️🧁

It has been a busy week here at Stocks Hall Ormskirk, with afternoons of baking, crafts and reminiscing together ❤️

WISH Activity Team Lead Brenda said, “For once, what we baked turned out lovely… but in fairness it was a ‘no bake cake bar’! No matter though, as it was lovely all the same. Janet, Jean, and Jenny made them and they were snapped up in no time by staff and residents.” 😋
