We carried on with our build up to Christmas this week, making various items for the tree. Clients decorated mini wooden wreaths and made Santa's from cardboard, cotton wool, string and little pom poms.
Brenda made clients an Angel for the top of the tree from a shuttlecock. Kempston Hammers Choir entertained us on Wednesday afternoon with an array of festive songs and carols. Everyone enjoyed singing along and had a great time. Chair based exercise classes continued this week. Other activities were dominoes, triominoes, word searches, colouring, a quiz and bingo. For lunch Angela cooked fish, chips and peas with lemon sponge and custard for dessert!

Christmas seems to be coming fast.
This week clients decorated Christmas gift bags. We had an array of different festive based items to use and clients thought they were lovely. Ann took her chair based exercise class this week. Other activities were bingo, dominoes, word searches, a quiz and colouring which is really popular at the moment. For lunch Angela cooked sausages with mashed potatoes, cabbage and carrots with chocolate and cherry sponge and ice cream for dessert. Preparations for Christmas got underway this week. Clients made Christmas cards. They could choose from a number of designs and really enjoyed the process. Clients really seem to enjoy colouring and their is some beautiful work, using gel pens or pencils. Other activities were word searches, a general knowledge quiz, dominoes, triominoes and bingo. We also had a table top sale this week. Many thanks to staff, volunteers, clients and their families for contributing. All proceeds to the centre. For lunch Angela cooked corned beef hash with cabbage and cauliflower and Apricot crumble with custard for dessert! With Remembrance Sunday upon us clients made poppies. They were cut from plastic bottle bottoms, shaped and coloured. Clients really liked making them.
We also played a word game on the board. I would start slowly writing a movie title and they would have to guess what it was. We then asked what year it was and if anyone knew who starred in them. It was a good discussion point, talking about old movies, their memories of going to the cinema etc. Other games were bingo triominoes, dominoes, word searches and colouring. Ann took her chair based exercise class on Wednesday and we had gentle stretching exercises on Tuesday and Thursday. For lunch Angela cooked gammon, egg, chips and peas with trifle for dessert! Next week we will be starting activities for the build up to the festive season starting with making Christmas cards. Cant believe we are in November already, soon be Christmas!!
It was Halloween week at the centre and we had all kinds of spooky items in the hall including Yorak the skeleton! Clients made ghost cakes and spooky witches fingers made from marzipan. We are also continuing to finish the butterflies we have been decorating over the last couple of weeks. Other activities included Halloween word searches, triominoes, bingo, dominoes and a body parts word quiz naming as many parts of the body, 3, 4, 5 letter words etc. Ann took her chair based exercise class on Wednesday.
