This week our trip to the care village was a rather busy one! The children were very excited to see their friends and it wasn’t long before everyone was busy. This week there was lots of construction work with the children and adults supporting one another in building towers and bridges. One child used the construction materials to build an amazing structure which she explained was a water feeder for cows and horses. Wow, what an imagination!
One child brought in his harmonica to show his friend. They both enjoyed playing the musical instrument and creating some wonderful tunes.
The puppets proved a hit with the children and residents. There were giggles all round as the children engaged with the adults. The adults were all good sports (and actors) as they pretended to get a fright when the puppet headed their way!
This week the residents received a very special gift from their nursery friends. The children handed out the gifts and waited patiently for the adults to open them. Everyone received an advent calendar each. The children explained what they were with one child stating, “This is a countdown to Christmas. Every day you open a door and eat a yummy chocolate but you can’t open all the doors at the same time!” What an explanation.
