Retirement Home Visit

Today we walked to Merivale Retirement Village in Browns Road. We sang some Christmas carols for the residents. We also gave them some baking and cards that we had made.  It was a really lovely experience for everyone. The children also spoke to the residents. When we got back to school I asked the children what they like about the visit. One child said "I liked the feeling a got when I was talking to them." So very gorgeous.  I think the visit has reinforced for the children that Christmas is a special time to give and not always just to receive.
Thanks to Poppy for coming in and helping us bake the cookies. Thanks also to Sarah, Tracey,Poppy and Neil who came on the trip with us too.
You all would have been very proud of your child. 
Merry Christmas x
