Today we went for our very first visit to Gulf Views Rest Home in Howick. This will be an ongoing monthly excursion where we will take small groups of children to go and say hello, sing songs and maybe do some crafts.
The children this morning made some beautiful flower posies, using various flowers, and rosemary from our garden. They wrapped colourful pipe cleaners around the stem some string and wrote their names on cards with our logo. We set off in our rain coats, and walked up the path.
When we arrived the children were welcomed by the staff and residents as everyone's faces lit up as we walked into the main lounge as the residents had just finished their morning tea and cup of tea. The children engaged in gentle conversation giving out our beautiful posies. The room was full of smiles as we stood up, and sung twinkle twinkle little star, The wheels on the bus, and Baby Shark finishing with great applause.
This heart warming experience was such a great moment for all involved.
