Our goal was to bring joy to the elderly people, and we most definitely achieved this beyond our expectations! We interviewed them, read them our stories that we wrote especially, did some crafts, played some games, provided and shared morning tea, and then finished with a concert to showcase our talents.
Feedback from parent helpers and staff from Lara Lodge was that our children were absolutely amazing and a true blessing to the elderly residents day. It is a memory they will keep for a long time and will be forever grateful.
We had so much fun that we have come back to school and are busy planning a second interaction with our elderly friends...we are going to make individualised Christmas gifts for each of them! Some of them may even come to our assembly in week 8 to reminisce on our day today and this is when we will be able to present them with our gifts....watch this space!
Room 12, you have all done an AMAZING job. I am so proud of how you worked as a team during the planning process, persevered to create your own stories, and displayed all of our school values during our visit. You should all be so proud of yourself and I hope you treasure this experience for a long time :)
We all want to say a huge thank you to our parent helpers for coming today. We wouldn't be able to do these things without your ongoing support!
