Physical Wellness for Our Active Retirement Group
Our Active Retire Group cares about the physical and mental wellness of its members. This has continued during the restrictions due to COVID 19. While it has not been easy to maintain this we have found ways around it. Starting today, we will be regularly posting about Wellness for Seniors on our website. See the document below for information;
Dot-to-Dot Activity for Pre-Schoolers
Our Pre-schoolers have been busy with the many activities they have been provided with. Why not try the dot-to-dot exercise below?
Our Youth Groups Have Been Keeping Fit and Preparing for a Concert
This week, the young people and volunteers in our senior youth services were taking part in our Plank Challenge to see who would be able to do the longest plank. We had a lot of young people take part and do an amazing job at this! Doing a plank is a lot more difficult than it looks! Our winners for this did 5 and 3-minute planks each!
This Saturday is our last day for Violin music classes. They have been practising different pieces to celebrate their last day with a small group concert.
Drama in Our Active Retirement Group
There is a lot of drama in the Active Retirement Group right now… the good kind of drama that is! Our incredible volunteer, Karina, is reaching out to members over the phone and online to bring theatre, drama, and creativity to our new routines. This week, she reconnected the group to Drama through the 3 -C’s – Creativity, Character, and Confidence.
The first exercise is simple, she gave the following list of 5 words: Friends, Alive, Attitude, Lacking, and Grace. Members have 5 minutes to write how they connect and associate with each word. This could be a sentence, a paragraph, a poem, a memory, a history, a comedy, anything! The goal is to be creative, explore, and enjoy! No pressure and no judgement.
I can’t wait to see what they come up with!
