Photo albums and reminiscence
On Tuesday 2 November we reminisced over good times here at Woodstock Residential Care Home by looking through our photo albums.
We got busy sticking in recent photos of our sponsored walk and all of our Halloween festivities, including pumpkin carving and our fun Halloween party.
We all had lots of fun arranging the photos in our scrapbooks – getting creative. This was very relaxing and was a lovely way to share experiences, stories and memories of all the pictures we had in our collections.
We had lots of fun and giggles looking through our photos!
It was lovely to chat and look through our photos
Festival of Lights
Residents here at Woodstock had fun with a photoshoot to celebrate Diwali, the festival of lights last week. We had our very own booth decorated with lots of bright colours – it was magical!
There were lots of colourful decorations to brighten up the day and celebrate in style. Everyone enjoyed having their photo taken as they sat under the beautiful variety of lights and posed for a picture.

Dog Therapy with Barney
On Thursday 4 November, everyone at Woodstock were very happy to welcome back Dog Therapy; we were overjoyed to see the lovely Labrador Barney.
Ellie brought Barney to visit us from the organisation ‘Supporting Paws’. Barney was so loved by everyone as he gave everyone affection.
We were so excited to be able to start Dog Therapy again because it lifts everyone’s mood and we are looking forward to meeting more of the ‘Supporting Paws’ family.

Fireworks
Woodstock residents got together on Friday 5 November night to watch our fireworks display in the garden. Some of our residents even braved the cold and came out to hold a sparkler, while others chose to watch from the conservatory.
We all ate hot dogs, hot sausage rolls and homemade vegetable soup to keep us warm on the night. Everyone enjoyed the evening watching all the lovely bright fireworks and some even made us jump!
Fireworks fun
Poppy display
We have all been hard at work creating our poppy displays here at Woodstock. Outside of our Home, we decorated the tree covering it with poppies. We made these poppies from red plastic plates and black paint and we have placed them all around the tree trunk and they’re hanging from every branch.
Inside, at our main reception, we have a beautiful display of a red dress made out of poppies next to a soldier and a dog. Residents helped make poppies out of red and black tissue paper that we used to make our poppy tree display inside the Home.
