Youth SVP Visit to Abbeyfields
Thursday 14th May 2015
‘Today we went to the Abbeyfield residential home, where we met some of the residents, such as George and Yvonne. Niamh and Josh played dominoes with George, while Penny and I played cards with Yvonne and Joan. We also had a lovely chat with Evyerinth. ‘

‘Today we went to the Abbeyfields Care Home to meet the residents. First of all we walked around and talked to them, discussing school, the royal baby and the dog Bella.
We played some traditional games with them, including dominoes with the ‘Domino King’, George. We also played snap with Yvonne and talked about her family and how she used to be a doctor’s secretary.
It was a lovely home with friendly residents and caring helpers, and I really hope that we can go and visit again soon. ‘

‘On arrival we met the residents and chatted about the royal baby, Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. Some of us played games - Mrs Bennett and Josh played Connect4 with Vera, and Mrs Bennett beat Josh four times on the run! We all got chance to play George, the ‘King of Dominoes’.
After a busy and fun morning we returned to school to allow the residents to have their lunch in peace!’
