We had another fantastic afternoon yesterday, this time on Wensleydale house with Wakefield Adult Education services.

Everyone enjoyed looking at the old photographs of Wakefield including the bus station, cinema, the Cathedral and the Riding Shopping Centre and reminiscing.

Balloon tennis went down really well as did the parachute games, this time we needed two parachutes and everyone enjoyed this game, lots of laughter and also great exercise.

Everyone really enjoyed the sing along too, singing songs from Vera Lynn among others which brought smiles to the residents faces.

Once again everyone had a great afternoon. We have one more sessions planned for Wharfedale house for the next Monday, so we are looking forward to doing it all again.

We had loads of fun yesterday making our Guy Fawkes on each house. They popped up in various places and even scared a few staff in to thinking we had some new residents.

We had a fantastic afternoon on Calderdale house today with Wakefield Adult Education services. They are providing reminiscing sessions to care homes.

First looked at at old photographs of Wakefield including the bus station, cinema, the Cathedral and the Riding Shopping Centre when it was built. These brought back lots of memories.

We had a game of balloon tennis, and played parachute games which was gave everyone a good laugh and made physical activity fun.

Everyone enjoyed the sing along too, singing songs from Vera Lynn among others which brought smiles to the residents faces.

All the residents who got involved had a great afternoon. We have two more sessions planned for Wensleydale house and Wharfedale house for the next two Mondays, so we are looking forward to doing it all again.
