The children from Wyetots childminding group have spent time with the residents at Ross Court Court Care Home  recently for fun and games. Some of their activities tied in nicely with the Easter celebrations.

Amongst other games, the children started by seeing what the Easter Bunny had brought with an egg hunt in the care home garden, and residents helped the children in their quest to collect the hidden decorative eggs. Once they had found five each, they moved onto searching for the chocolate versions, which afterwards were eagerly shared out.

After this, it was time for singing and dancing with pom poms and the children treated them to a lively performance of The Rowing Boat Song.

Magic Moments Club Coordinator Clare said: “Our residents had a great time helping the children hunt for eggs. Pam was so delighted to see them running around having fun that she cried tears of happiness.”

Eight-year-old Liam said: “This is the first time I have visited Ross Court and I can’t wait to come back and see everyone again.”

Every Brighterkind home now has a Magic Moments Club which provides a vast range of activities and fun things to do that are open to all of their residents.See this week’s paper for more stories like this, available in shops and as a Digital Edition now.
