Alice Grange Staff Panto
Alice Grange Staff Panto Great fun was had by all at Alice Grange with the Staff performance of Cinderella. The most outstanding performances were those of the ugly sisters played by James Calver, Activities Co-ordinator and John Lambert, Gardener.
Alice Grange Christmas Cakes
Each floor made their own Christmas Cake in December 2011. The residents created their own designs, baked the cakes and then decorated them. We think they look fantastic, they tasted even better!!
Let's Get Cooking
Cedarwood Primary School in Kesgrave had an extra special cooking lesson today when they visited Alice Grange as part of their Let's Get Cooking Club. The children spent a lovely afternoon helping the people living at Alice Grange to bake cranberry Christmas muffins. While the children weighed ingredients and held bowls, the residents stirred and did the fiddly bits. The people living at Alice Grange regularly bake cakes but the children's help made this extra special. Debbie Richards, activities coordinator at Alice Grange, said it was lovely to see the residents and children interacting
