Happy Halloween

October arrived and with it the build up to Halloween with a variety of light hearted and enjoyable activities. The residents took part in decorating Halloween bunting with a variety of mediums including pens, pencils, tissue paper, oil pastels and chalk pastels. We produced pumpkin artwork whilst decorating a variety of sized and shaped pumpkins with humorous faces which the residents enjoyed and much laughter was shared due to the comical expressions that were made.

We played spider parcel parcel whilst listening to spooky songs. The residents appeared to enjoy the activity which in part enabled them to reminisce. The residents also appeared excited when the music stopped on them and being able to tear apart the newspaper to get to the next layer and find a Halloween chocolate treat.

We also had Halloween bingo where the residents could pop out their prize through a lucky dip pumpkin.

The week finished with staff invited to come dressed for Halloween and two well known Halloween films, the Adams Family and Hocus Pocus.
