CHILDREN from Back to the Garden Childcare visited residents at neighbouring Statham Manor Care Centre for an inter-generational afternoon of fun and storytelling to celebrate World Book Day.
Dressed as characters from their favourite books, including Supergirl, the Gruffalo and Mog the Cat, the group of eight children were accompanied by the nursery manager and practitioners, also dressed up, bringing with them a selection of books to read with the residents.
Statham Manor residents gathered in the lounge to greet the three and four year olds and together, young and old spent the afternoon reading, proving that age is no object when it comes to a love for books.
The afternoon was great fun for all; with residents from Statham Manor enthralling the children with readings from their favourite books and sharing memories of their childhood.
The pre-school children loved showing off their costumes and delighted the residents with their tales from nursery.
