Festive Arts & Crafts
Yesterday residents enjoyed making some wonderful paper Angels and snowflakes to hang on the windows in the activity lounge. We coloured and glued some glitter on the angels. Making them look sparkly and shiny and for the snowflakes we folded paper and cut out patterns to create them. We also made some magic snow for the residents to touch and reminiscing about winter memories at Christmas.

Cinderella Panto
What a fabulous start to the week!
Christmas came early courtesy of Carousel theatre's production of Cinderella.
Our residents had a super time watching and taking part in the production, with lots of 'he's behind you' and 'oh no he isn't'. We all enjoyed the live entertainment and got involved with the pantomime, singing along and interacting with the performers.
The residents and staff at Oxford Beaumont send a big THANK YOU to the Carousel theatre and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.
Mince Pie Making
Today our residents enjoyed baking club yesterday the festive recipe was mince pies!
We rolled out the pastry, cut out circles for the bottom and carefully patted them into a tray, then spooned just the right about of mincemeat in the middle and popped on the pastry tops with a sprinkle of sugar.
The mince pies went down a treat this afternoon with a glass of wine and sherry with a Christmas quiz full of lots of laugher from all.

We also got into the joy of festive feeling by having glasses of warm gingerbread mulled wine and mince pies, it surely did go down a treat by all.
