Anderson's Care Home

There was some discussion about places to visit in Ireland, as well as votes on favourite Irish drinks... and stories of Lossiemouth and the Moray coast.

It was goodbye to Diane on 17 September and she marked the occasion by sharing beautiful flowers with everyone. 

Blooming lovely!

Sadie enjoyed a big audience for her poetry reading.

This week,  we took new books in response to requests from our friends in Anderson's Care Home.

Very popular choices were Holland and the Keukenhof tulip fields and... James Bond.

 Bob loved hearing Riley reading all the facts about 007 especially about his favourite Bond: Sean Connery. 

Plus....there was the Pop-Up Cafe and poems and local history to share too. 

It was raining cats and dogs outside, but inside Anderson's, thre were stories of dogs and cats and drawings too. Plus, lots of laughter and fun with our Anderson's friends.

This was the final visit for this fantastic group of senior pupils to Anderson's Care Home, as holidays and then study leave are ahead.

All have loved this last year in our community reading project. Simply the Best!

We shared flowers with our reading friends and with staff in Anderson's Care Home.

We ❤️ our weekly Wednesdays with our reading friends. 

This was the penultimate week of the community reading project as study leave and exams begin soon for senior pupils.

Sharing stories in cosy Anderson's

Wednesdays are for the Anderson's Care Home community reading project and, while it was snowy and very cold, outside... inside, our community reading project was full of fun, warmth and stories. All in the group was sad today, as Nicole, our link/liaison with the reading project is leaving her post and Wednesday 20 November was the final day with her. 

Huge thanks to Nicole and the group gave her flowers and a card from Elgin Academy.

Another great session, filled with stories and fun.

Wednesdays mean our community reading project and on the first Wednesday of the new term, we returned to Anderson's Care Home after the two week holiday break. Everything was looking very autumnal and beautiful.
