Photos from our weekly Knit and Natter sessions with Heather, where the needles never stop and neither does the conversation. Plus a clue to the wintry new project coming next.
Photos from our Pamper Afternoons with Jess, where residents relax with a facial, a hand and arm massage, some good music and, of course, a little glass of Baileys.
Caroline, who runs Popcat's Music Time in Prenton, is a familiar face to many of our residents from her intergenerational sessions with local nursery children. This time the afternoon was all about our residents, and they made the most of it.
There was music and singing, of course, with plenty of familiar songs for everyone to join in with. There were readings too, which gave the afternoon a lovely change of pace between the livelier moments and offered something for residents who enjoy the spoken word as much as a good tune.
A new block of Baby Boogie sessions has begun on Wednesday mornings, bringing babies, carers and residents together for music, movement and plenty of fun.
he ladies from Two Can Uke joined us at Lear House for a Friday afternoon of music, singing, percussion and dancing, and they are already booked in to come back.
Caroline from Popcat's Music Time returned to Lear House with children from Carrie's Tiney Home Nursery and Caroline's Childminding for an afternoon of songs, percussion and a shared quiet read.
Shared Reading is a beautifully simple idea. A trained Reader Leader chooses a poem or a piece of writing and reads it aloud to the group. Everybody listens. Then everybody talks about it.
The singing carries down the corridor, there is a burst of laughter between songs, and by the time you walk through the door someone is already up on their feet. That is exactly how it went when Sandra Currie came back to spend the afternoon with us.
Waltzing, hand jiving, singing and percussion. Caroline from Popcats Music Time returned to Lear House for another fabulous Music and Movement session, and our residents had a wonderful time.
