This week the children visited their friends and as we walked in, we were amazed to see the Christmas decorations were going up. There were beautiful golden stars and throughout the day the staff erected Christmas trees decorated with golden baubles and twinkling lights. It is making us all feel rather Christmassy!

The children enjoyed drawing again today but one of our residents had another suggestion. Why don’t we make paper aeroplanes? Some of the children began decorating the paper whilst our very kind resident turned them into aeroplanes and even constructed lots more for the other children.

We had a plan! We would hold a paper aeroplane race but whose plane would fly the farthest? Only time would tell.

After lunch the race was on. Everyone lined up and one at a time we threw our paper aeroplanes. Some of the residents had clearly been practicing as their planes flew quite far. The children threw their planes and everyone cheered each other on. We had two races and both were won by our residents. The children have planned a rematch for next time. Who will win the next round?
