Care Home Residents Have A Roaring Afternoon At Local School

The residents and staff at Elm Bank care home in Kettering were delighted in attending the local St Thomas More School for an afternoon of Archaeology and dinosaur’s.

Residents were very excited to have been invited to a wonderful afternoon at their local St Thomas More School’s archaeology afternoon that was delivered by the talented team from ‘Giant Journeys’. The residents and children immersed themselves in learning about the world of dinosaurs and thrilled to have been a part of the fantastic educational afternoon.  Darren from Giant Journeys along with his team educated the children and residents about the amazing artefacts that they had with them, when everyone thought that it was all over, the hall was full of surprise as a giant dinosaur surprised all.

Resident Beryl said,
“It was lovely, to see all the children all so keen to learn, I was a teacher myself and this afternoon was just perfect. The dinosaur now he was a surprise as no one was expecting to see him.”

Marvellous Bindura, General Manager said,
“It was lovely that the local school opened their doors to our residents, it means so much to the residents, it allows for the young and the old to mix and the wonderful experiences are shared.  Beryl was a teacher, so this meant so much to her.  I believe as do we all here at the home, it is crucial to create links with our local schools and within the community to continue for our residents to remain a part of the community.”
