Kindergarten Nursing Home Visit

On Tuesday, the 18th of August, our Kindergarten classes enjoyed a delightful excursion to the local Uniting Banks Lodge Nursing Home in Peakhurst. The purpose of our visit was to connect with the residents and learn more about their past, which tied in perfectly with our ongoing History Unit of Work.
Upon arrival, the students were warmly welcomed by the residents. Throughout the visit, our Kindergarten children engaged in meaningful conversations, listening attentively as the residents shared stories from their lives. These exchanges provided a wonderful opportunity for the students to learn about history from a personal perspective, enriching their understanding in a meaningful way.
While the residents enjoyed their morning tea, students took part in playing games like 'Memory' and 'Snakes and Ladders,' which sparked laughter and many joyful moments. It was truly heart warming to see the strong bonds forming between the young students and the elderly community members.
The excursion was a fantastic success, filled with smiles, laughter, and meaningful interactions. We are deeply grateful to the residents and staff of Uniting Banks Lodge for their warm hospitality and for allowing us to be part of their community. This experience fostered a sense of connection and respect between generations within our wider community.
