Variety Show
 |
On the 13th we were treated to a series of
performances by an exuberant, 30-strong group of young people
(aged 5 to18) from the Mother Divine Mercy Youth Group. Items
ranged from songs of worship accompanied on the guitar, to
pop dancing blending in contemporary music with traditional
Indian tunes.
The group of five year olds put on a very enthusiastic haka
complete with bare bellies and pukana.
|
A group of young women danced wearing beautiful blue and yellow
flowered skirts, which had one resident mirroring their movements
from her chair.
Their final act was a traditional Pacific Island drum dance, (all
seated cross-legged on the floor) and many of the residents tapped
their feet and clapped to the beat of the music.
When they had finished the young people came forward to shake hands
with each member of the audience.
Artists at Work
 |
The Kinross Lounge has been host to a great
deal of artistic expression this month.
Stunning floral arrangements have been made with different
colours and lengths of cuttings placed thoughtfully into round
sponge bases.
|
The residents have been experimenting with different colours and
mediums to bring to life butterfly drawings. There are now two colourful
swarms of butterflies perching near the nurse’s station
Visit from Triss
 |
Sue from the SPCA outreach program and her very well-behaved
dog Triss came to see us on the 22nd.
