Over the last term we have been continuing our visits to Angel Court Residential Home. The children love to share stories about our hens here at Harlow Green, many of the residents remember helping out in the allotments as children so comparing hen related anecdotes is always fun.
We decided we would make so bright collages to go into the windows in the Angel Court Community Room. Busy hands and lots of chat made for some lively afternoons. Sometimes the residents need a bit of help with the detailed bits but between old and young they produced some beautiful work.
You can visit the community cafe at Angel Court if you would like to admire the artwork on display.
