Hi everyone,
Just before schools closed we had made a community link with our local care home Swan House. Some of our Nursery and Year 2 children went there to read stories to the residents, sing songs and play games. As many of the residents won't be having visitors at the moment I was keen to keep this link going and give the residents something to smile about. It is also a nice opportunity to let them know that we are still thinking about them all even though we can't go to visit them at the moment.
Children have started to send in pictures and messages for me to forward on to Swan House. Today we had this lovely response from them.
"Hello Louise, That is a lovely idea! The residents will love that.
Thank you for you contacting us, it is really appreciated, take care and love to all the children,
Regards"
Once they had received the messages and pictures that I have been sent so far they sent us this message!
"They are fabulous, a big thank you to all the children who took part."
If you would like to join us in helping to make the residents smile then send in your pictures and messages to the email address below and I will send them across to them.
lwestbury@invention-i.walsall.sch.uk
You are all so thoughtful and wonderful for helping with this!
Keep Safe everyone!
Mrs Westbury :-)
