Our residents at Newton Court were pleased to receive a new bean bag toss game, kindly gifted by some of our regular volunteers. It was very popular when it arrived and the residents in the lounge enjoyed the competition led by these volunteers.
The weather has become less inviting for outdoor activities, but we have continued to enjoy a variety of seasonal, indoor activities. Getting creative for autumn, residents have been busy painting the pumpkins in our autumn display. We have also held a relaxing pampering session which residents really enjoyed. Others have chosen to unwind at their own pace by tackling the jigsaw puzzles and games we have made available. Our much-loved weekly book reading sessions have continued throughout the autumn, too. Residents who enjoy a mystery have been settling in for a cosy reading session in the well heated conservatory. I am sure there will be lots of new activities taking place across the rest of autumn and into the winter.
We have a line-up of special events planned with fireworks, a petting farm visit and a musical performance all scheduled for November and plenty more to follow in December too.
