Buds and Blooms Weather Theme at Morel Court Care Home:

Come along and join the fun with our weather themed sessions for March. Activities will include sensory play, singing, signing, stories, craft, imaginative play, parachute games, instruments, free play, puppets and lots of topic related props. There are lots of new resources to explore and experiment with as a result of our grant from The National Lottery Fund. Buds and Blooms are small, friendly groups held in care homes in Barry on a Wednesday morning and Penarth on a Thursday afternoon. The residents love seeing us and interacting with the children and it is lovely to see the relationships that are forming between the residents, children and parents/carers.

Audio Book Club at Penarth Library:

FREE Book Club every second Thursday of the month. Audiobooks and a machine to play the book will be loaned to you. Listen to a book a month and then come along and discuss it at the next meeting.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

"Let us try to teach generosity and altruism because we are born selfish. Let us understand what our own selfish genes are up to, because we may then at least have the chance to upset their designs, something that no other species has ever aspired to do."

– Richard Dawkins
