Activities at Chater Lodge Care Home

Today we welcomed the return of the delightful children from Ketton Playschool after their half term break. The residents love it when the children visit, they discussed the animals for World environment day, healthy eating and celebrated National children’s day.

National Children’s Day can be traced back to the early 20th century when various child welfare organisations and advocates began campaigning for the establishment of a day dedicated to children’s rights and welfare. Overtime, National Children’s Day has evoked into global movement that seeks to raise awareness about issues affecting children and promote initiatives aimed at improving their lives.

Although the children were learning about healthy eating the children indulged in tasty baked biscuits made by the kitchen team.

We marked Father’s Day in style at Chater Lodge with a very special lunch in honour of all Fathers, prepared and cooked by our multi-talented manager Zoe, all washed down with a nice refreshing pint.

Some of our residents met their loved ones and we all took part in various themed activities. We told Dad jokes and our residents spent time reminiscing about their lives and talking about their fathers and children.

Our wonderful residents celebrated the 80th anniversary of D day with a themed quiz all about World War II, a singalong, we even looked at ration packs.

Resident’s reminisced about how they remembered the street party’s and how old they were at the time.

D Day, also known as The Normandy Landings, was a pivotal military operation during World War II that took place on June 6, 1944. It marked the allied invasion of Nazi- occupied Western Europe, specifically the coast of Normandy in France led by the supreme commander of the allied expeditionary forces, General Dwight D.

D Day was the largest ambitious assault in history and a turning point in the war.

Residents across our services enjoyed a fantastic virtual tour of The Deep, an award-winning aquarium in Hull.

Our residents dived into the underwater world of some fascinating creatures such as sharks, turtles and stingrays.

It was a truly immersive and educational experience that brought the wonders of the ocean right to our screens.

Residents across our services had a wonderful time joining Cadbury for an interactive virtual talk on their fascinating 200-year history.

Residents joining learnt interesting facts about the chocolate giant, shared memories, and reminisced about their favourite sweet treats.

It was a heartwarming experience filled with laughter, nostalgia, and plenty of chocolatey goodness!
