Year 4 Maidstone Care Home Visit - April and May

Every other Thursday we have been visiting Maidstone Care Centre and the children have been involved in activities with the residents, like emoji bingo. Our children have also prepared songs and sang to the residents which they have thoroughly enjoyed. We plan to carry on visiting fortnightly and taking more children to be involved in outdoor games and other exciting activities!
